Damn London tourists and nasties.

So at least 4 or more times a year we are off into London. Either food and drink debauchery with the wife, concert etc or a touristy day with the kids.
Yesterday was a family day.
So into London, straight to the natural history museum which despite not having the large mammal exhibit open, we all really enjoyed as usual.
Then we walked to the aquarium as me and the wife enjoy all the architecture, general Londonness of the place.
In that walk we saw the following….
Every fucking tourist taking a picture with their phone on the floor. I’m guessing this is the new twat way of taking a picture in a busy public place ?
Some Japanese tourists get pick pocketed.
Tapping a guy on the shoulder who reached for my wife’s coat.
Absolute morons on Westminster bridge with stupid spinny cameras. Cholera filled hotdogs. Tricycle riding taxi scam artists blaring out angry foreign rap. Plus Police ignoring it all.
Also had to do a speedy walk as the Palestinian protest was going on, Police again doing nothing as they were spitting vile language and generally screaming at anyone and everyone.
So, might give it 6 months and see what it’s like till we take the kids again
Is it like this all the time or was something happening this weekend ? It was very busy which was. Shame as we thought so close to Easter it wouldn’t be too bad ?
£50 for 4 return on the train though, quite impressed at that at least.
Dave!
