Title: London Sights
Post by: Nick on August 25, 2011, 04:57:01 PM
I recall my first visit to London in 1966 ( redface:) and thinking that you could walk around in a spacesuit without getting a second glance. I was right.

Day 1: I saw a person of unidentifiable sex marching purposefully along in shorts and a top hat
Day 2: I saw a young woman in Islington pushing a baby buggy whilst also operating an hula hoop eeek:  QUite an achievement, especially in a busy street, and passing almost unnoticed

I shall keep a sharp eye out for more. I wonder if MIss D has a pogo stick  rubschin:

You should have seen some of the sights in Sheffield today.  Varying sizes from OK to super obese, bright orange, peroxide or jet black hair. skimpily dressed in an odd assortment of ripped tights, shorts, t.shirt 2 sizes too small belt around their chests. Usually in groups more than one with a buggy, carrying a dusky baby, most chewing gum whilst squawking either at each other or into a mobile phone clamped to their ear sometimes both. It was the stuff that my nightmares are made of. noooo:  Oh and some of them have a strange fringe thing going on with their hair. Other than saying that it makes them look like they have a speed bump on their head I cannot begin to describe it. noooo:  I fear I may need therapy. sad24:

Well that's not very nice I am feeding Jim for you.

JOM funnily enough today the men were not that noticeable, probably because I was making one of my infrequent excursions into the girlie parts of shops. I was reminded why I don't venture there very often. sick2:  They were so loud which may in fact not just be a Sheffield thing. noooo: There is something about the accent which for me at least truly grates.  Explode:

 :dogrun:  OK where is Tintin and since when has Hergé been on here?
