Originally posted by thunderlizard View PostLondon's much better than the place I come from.
But I've noticed 2 odd things about Londoners
(1) You can get to a pedestrian crossing, find 2 dozen of them already waiting, and yet nobody's pressed the button. You have to shove through 3 rows of them to get to it and press it yourself
(2) They put their umbrellas up when it's cloudy but not actually raining
(2) My girlfriend does that and people comment about it in the street
