London Bridge has not fallen down

Thank God "London Bridge has fallen down" did not happen. This was a tune I used to play in my Schoold Band and the whole school used to march past to that (I am sure they never cared to know about it). First weekend in London and we decided to check if the bridge was still intact despite all the cacophony we used to create. The Bag piper is what I used to play ( not drink please I am strict non drinker- of whisky, its rum for me). This piece of useless history apart, standing on London Bridge was a real great feeling, you can see the forcefull Thames river beneath and the Tower Bridge at a distance.

Smoking in London

No! I am not back to smoking again. But during the first few days in London, I cannot but notice the huge number of smokers. My God! This city is full of them. Seems smoking makes them forget their civic sense (no wonder they get kicks from smoking) and they throw the cigi butts all around. It is called as the financial capital is it also the smokers paradise ?
