Cheerio

Dear visitors,

A few things.

Normally the London transport system doesn't work like this. And we don't speak to tourists on the tube.

Normally there are fewer police around; and they're not always as friendly.

Oxford Street on a quiet day might feel quite relaxed, but normally, it's an unpleasant, slow-moving river of consumer insanity.

We're getting better at food in London; please don't judge us by the Olympic venues.

We have beer as well as bottled lager, and some of it's quite good.

Outside the Olympics, people wearing pink tee-shirts are not obliged to give you assistance.

So, with those caveats, please hurry back.

Bill
