    There was an IRA bomb threat in the city several years ago around lunchtime. They wouldn't let us out of All Bar One on Threadneedle Street for hours :-)

    There are cygnets at the wharf and one cannot take any chances.

    I presume doogh was thinking of "chickens" of the tight-jeaned variety.

    It would be a circus alright - These days the whole West End is so bristling with cameras that any kid under the age of 18 wandering around on their own would be spotted and pounced on in no time by van loads of police and social workers and other assorted busybodies.
