1. On our ride from the airport to downtown we went on the Picadilly Line.We made about 10-15 stops between Heathrow and Picadilly and everytime we made a stop a woman's voice came on and said "Picadilly Line Service to Cockfosters." You couldn't have paid me not to smirk everytime she said that.
2. Way Out in London means Exit.
3. I thought because they drive on the other side of the street that walking would be the same way, but it's not, everyone still walks on the right side of the sidewalk, strange right?
4. Bloke in London still means Bloke...
5. At lunch I ordered a Jack and Coke and when it came out it had a bendy straw. Then at dinner my sprite/lemonade (not really sure what the drink was) also had a bendy straw. How great that a country relies solely on bendy straws for drinking purposes.
6. When people ask where you're from, it's wise to say "The States" and not anything else really.
7. British people are very friendly, well mainly only to each other, but still if I were a citizen here I think it would be very nice to meet people.
8. Everything is expensive here which kinda sucks.
9. Finally, "Eat" is not something you do with food, but rather some place you visit to consume food which happens to be everywhere which is possibly why British people always seem hungry.
Here are some pictures including a couple that are a little strange, if you click on the picture it should enlarge:
