LONDON BABY!

Well today was the day of the trip to London! Yay! Here's a review of it:

People present: Becky Lamb, Steve Tilson, Ian Thomson, Joy Shannon, Laura Foster and I'm sure there was someone else...hmm..er oh yes Becci Noake!

Activities Undertaken:

catching bus
Waiting at Waterloo Station
greeting everybody
catching tube
going to Science Museum - looking at exhibits, waiting for Ian on numerous occasions, eating lunch, using crowded toilet, going in lift, taking photos
Catching tube
Window shopping in Covent Garden
Listening to buskers - very good string quartet plus freaky man in white coat
Catching bus
Watching Eastenders omnibus (not technically part of the trip but major part of my day as was 3 hours and nearly made me cry cos it was Nana's funeral)

Most exciting discovery: there is a place on Mars called Baker's bench - now one of my lifes ambitions to sit on it and look at the Lamb rock!

Most shocking discovery: my tuna mayo sandwich had 1549 calories in it - I KNOW! its more than a BLT or a chicken salad sandwich - crazy!

New interesting fact learnt: the average 18 year old knows 60,000 words

Most time spent waiting for Ian: about 15 mins he was on 3rd floor we were in the basement! hmm!

Most potentially embarassing moment: Becci making me lie down in museum for a photo - luckily there was no one about!

Coldest moment: listen to buskers in Covent Garden market

Warmest moment: squashed in lift at Science museum

Most thought provoking exhibit: first prototype of the clock of the long now: just how long is now? I don't know!

Most aptly named exhibit: in the history of the toilet - there was actually one made by a company called "crapper's"

Well that's about it for the day there would be some lovely photos but computer is being too slow to upload them - maybe another time
