Brilliant and Not So Brilliant Things About London

Brilliant

• All the beautiful parks
• How international it is (you hear different languages everywhere on the street)
• How historic everything is
• They call Sprite lemonade
• People dress "smart"
• You see Ferraris and Bentleys parallel parked on the street as though they were a green '97 Honda Accord with Beavers sticker on the rear windshield
• It's a very clean city

Rubbish

• Many parks are private (no outsiders or doodles allowed)
• The concept of good customer service seems to be absent from this society
• Prices - yes, everything is double what it is in the US
• Smoking is allowed in bars and restaurants (until July 1st!)
