Confused Goth and jing (energy expression)

When we were crowded onto a Tube yesterday morning, a quiet, polite man nearly missed his stop when a Goth girl with headphones on didn't hear his understated requests for her to let him pass.

As time ran out and the train prepared to leave, Hubby intervened; subtly jinging the girl aside in order for the man to pass.

The shocked girl pulled off her headphones and delivered a tirade of abuse to her friend about how rude the man had been for flinging her aside, totally unaware that it had been Hubby, and that Hubby was actually still stood beside her.

Friendly

The most friendly person we met in London was a groundskeeper in Kensington Gardens who was politely asking Hubby about his bagua.

I was surprised that the man even recognised bagua. He seemed very interested and came to chat with Hubby twice...

 

Tired, frenetic, anxious people

London residents wear a permanent frown, their eyes are haggard and they seem to lack energy.

Breathing horrendous fumes all day long and the silly pace of life in London takes its toll.

Yes, London has it all... or does it? There's no peace and quiet, and even the parks are toxic.

London is all about mobile phones, iPods and pretending that you're young when you're not. Grandudes and aging cougars prowl the pricey streets.
