Since I started cycling to work, I don't go on buses very often, because I don't have a travelcard.
Last time I went on a bendy bus, I was amazed by what I heard: non-stop announcements, telling you to watch out for unattended baggage, and to report any suspicious looking people.
These announcements are common on the Tube; however it's the sheer quantity of these announcements that amazed me. It seemed like there was about 30 seconds between each one - making it very difficult to have a conversation.
Does this really help the war on terrr? [sic]

Bible Quotes on Buses
I am privileged enough to live next to a main road in London. One of the bus ads that I see makes me wonder.
It is one of those Print A Quote From The Bible And The Non-Believers Will Realise The Error Of Their Ways ads.
Don't you have better things to spend your money on? Do people really see those and think "Man, reading what the Bible says that J said has made me realise what an idiot I've been all these years!".
Sorry, no sale.

Foxtons
I don't like Foxtons; based on my first-hand experience of them, I just don't like their attitude.
It seems like a very brave move for them to open a new branch in Camden.
Mind you, I am amused by the fact there is a "Toilet" sign in front of it (if you see the office from Delancey St) - confirming my suspicions that somebody is taking the p**s.

Horse P**
Horse Poo really incenses me. And I don't just mean the smell...
I cycle to work most days. Cycling through London is an interesting pastime, but at least my route takes me through 2 of its larger parks, namely Regent's and Hyde Parks. They are a wonderful respite from the hazard of London traffic.
However, another hazard lurks in Hyde Park: horse poo. Huge lumps of it, laid slap bang in the middle of the path.
Why is it that horse owners are allowed to leave their animals' dung lying around, when a dog owner gets a fine slapped on them?
Don't get me wrong; horses are marvellous animals - not that I've ever ridden one or ever really been around them. I just wish that their owners were forced to clean up after them!
