Well, there's goes that old schoolyard rhyme - London Bridge is clearly not falling down since I crossed it today to visit J at work. Otherwise, I would've gotten a pretty big surprise - a nasty wet surprise since the Thames is the brownest river I've ever seen.
Anyway, we had lunch at Pret again, and we're both getting used to the whole ready-made food thing they got going here. I don't think we've seen a single place that will make your sandwich the way you like, despite the fact that sandwich shops are like Starbucks here. No surprise there, it's Stuff White People Like #63. Click here to see the full list: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/. It's funny - Americans like their food customized as much as the British like their clothes to be bespoke.
Anyway, we made a quick pass through Leadenhall Market, which has a bunch of food stalls and random retail shops including a whole store devoted only to pens. J is completely enamored with the idea that you can find nice shopping arcades in random alleys all through London. He's also completely enamored with the idea that you can have multiple beers during lunch here. J is in luuurve with London.
