I'd forgotten about the man in the Tube station who was compelled to tell us how dreadful our President is, politely but persistent, as if we might be able to do something about it. I was more inclined to agree with him, rather than take responsibility for it -- hey, where we come from, if we didn't vote for 'em, they're not our fault!<BR/><BR/>I also remember Number Ten -- I wasn't sure which one it was either! I asked my companions quietly.<BR/><BR/>We did go on the Eye -- it was interesting but over too quickly. The view was certainly different and expansive, but not exactly life-altering.<BR/><BR/>My uncle was with us and is a big military buff, so we saw lots of different guards and guards changing and guards parading. You'd be amazed what you can tell about a guard by the number of buttons on his coat!sandman1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11066816633017905095noreply@blogger.com
