Recently observed around London















The City Fathers bring the long awaited dream of a fork-only society into being through wheelie bins parked outside police stations.

Interestingly, the wheelie bin was just that, wheelie, and it did occur to me that perhaps an unscrupulous soul could wheel it away, thereby gaining many knives.

An early campaign "Bin that Gun, Eat a Bun" apparently did not gain currency.















The first bullet point on this billboard for a new development in Southwark says a lot about London property prices.
















We came around the corner a couple of weeks back around the Tower Bridge area only to find a full Bollywood cast performing one of those famous climactic last scenes where everybody participates in a big song and dance routine, even the characters who have been killed off. The locals were sniffy because the momentary street closure meant that they couldn't get their porsches through. Apparently there was a lack of consultation.

Dear Sir,

As an ardent supporter of spoons and other minority tablewares, I am compelled to address the discriminatory effect of the "Knife-Fork Dichotomy" referenced on your site.

For too long people have assumed that forks are the only solution to the knife hegemony: to succees, London must consider the entire utensil spectrum.
