We've enjoyed our trip to London, but here are the most absurd things we encountered.
Starbucks, everwhere. Over 200 locations in the city, many within sight of each other. Ned tried to count them all, but then we just gave up and started playing "Starbucks!" (like "punchbug" from our younger days).
Knife surrender boxes. Guns are apparently not as serious a problem?
And, perhaps most absurd, was the rental car company that rented me, an American driver in London, a brand-new Mercedes C-class. It had only 200 miles when we got it...at rush hour. Needless to say, we took out ALL the insurance. And returned it without a scratch (whew!).
Yep. I was actually pretty disappointed when they opened a Starbucks (with all the pre-fuzz!) right across from our building. Of course, all the Berliners would enjoy their coffee there. And they're all over Mexico too! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAwesome on the car!
