What I don't like about cities...

[sbisson]

I grew up on a small island, I now live in a big city.

Normally I like the city, it's busy, bustling, exciting. But there's one thing that I find increasingly annoying. No one takes turns. They rush off the tube, crushing into narrow doorways, something that would be made so much simpler if people just filtered in turn by turn. It's a logical and simple way of working that shows consideration for their fellow human beings, but they just focus on their destinations and tune out simple considerations that would actually make their journeys easier.

Perhaps it's just me...

I can completely understand that... I thoroughly enjoy my solitary lunchtime wanders through the streets of the West End. It's surprisingly how empty they can be, just a couple of blocks away from the bustle of Oxford Street.

Damn. You're right. I do miss Golden Square - which starts to get rather scenic at this time of year. And - bother, I'm blanking on the name of the place - the big bookshop off Piccadilly Circus with a surprisingly nice caff in the basement... Of course, if I have to be hanging around in Edinburgh, this is a pretty good time for it as Rob and Jenny both have exams and Tara's fighting the post-Whitby blues with some serious job-hunting.
