And Mark's poor brother is subjected to some home made biltong for the first time. Bless.

Trafalgar Square


Albannach are serving whiskey! And Tom is here but standing out of shot for some reason, while we drink shots. Of Scotch.

Pall Mall


The ranks are swelling at the Red Lion

Pall Mall


had nothing that would let us in so we collared cigars!

Mayfair


The Grapes. And a new Fullers brew called Front Row. We currently have 4 minutes to be OUT of the next pub. It's all going a bit wrong.

We're feeling very old


The realisation that the cake rack is edible has prompted an outburst of amazement at what good value it is. The cake rack. At the Park Lane Hilton. Sigh.

Park lane cakes!



Park Lane


At the Hilton of course.

Marylebone Station


The V&A. Just leaving, which is why the time is a bit off pace.

Does this count as the Gaol square?



Euston Road...


Euston Tap!

Kings Cross


The Parcel Yard, as found by Mark. Apparently the "official" stop is closed!

Pentonville Road


The Castle

The Angel


Another Guinness. Also had a second half at the last place while we waited for Tom's cheating food..

Liverpool Street


The Hamilton Hall, quick Guinness!

Eine letters


I am no longer as impressed by Dave Gorman collecting a full alphabet of these!

Whitechapel Road


The Aldgate

Fenchurch st is closed!


So we're in the Doubletree Hilton.

And they're off!


The George, Tower Bridge Road

A model pricing index


This is actually better than the Pie City index that confused me so much in Mbabane. The items on the rack are labelled just with the letter codes, so you only have to update the sign when VAT goes up. But why are they double? And how did XX get so wildly out of sequence? Did the price of something plummet? I couldn't find an XX item on the rack. Sorry.

The dangers of autotyping


Spending most of yesterday cursing C++ for its unforgiving attitude to undeclared data types is suddenly quite sane when contrasted with this unfortunate reformatting of "4.5 %". CAMRA would have a fit. Or a laugh and another pint, more likely.
