Cool Sights in Britain...

I loved looking at the differences between Britain and the U.S.: it's the little things that get you.  Some of the pictures that I'll put on here show some things I thought were hilarious.  One I wish I had grabbed but didn't get a chance was a sign at Heathrow when I first landed: it was the sign for the pedestrian crosswalks around the airport.  They are painted black and white, and also are slightly raised above the pavement (like a speed bump).  Well, the sign said for them (and I quote):

"Humping Zebra Crossing"

I just about died laughing.

Here are some other interesting things I saw: Sign saying the "Hand Job Car Wash Company" The "Knobs and Knockers" antique store A pub called the "Hung, Drawn and Quartered" A small food shop advertising "Faggots and Peas" "Dirty Dicks" pub "Rat & Carrot" pub In one of my hotel rooms, the number to dial for emergencies was "666" "New" Scotland Yard, a rather ugly building The British Telecom communications tower literally towering over London: it looked like something out of Science Fiction!

And some observations about culture and other things: Signs in Ireland written in English and Celtic Signs in Wales written in English and Welsh Signs in Scotland written in no known language  (just kidding...) Topless girls in the papers in English newsstands NO topless girls in the papers in Ireland Only American films in the theatres (##*%(@@#!!!)
