The parking things has been well covered above but the filtering thing is never really appreciated untill you see it.

personaly i think i filter quite well, some even call it aggresively but i dont think you can filter and be safe any other way sometimes. Saying that a lot of london filtering involves looking in the wing mirror of the car in front as hardly anyone bothers to use their indicators.

When a cab or bus indicates, its not asking to be let out more like telling you "this is the way i'm going so you better stop and let me cos here i go" lol, ah the joys of filtering in london.

To start with you'll hate it, yeras later you realise it really has sharpened up your instincts a bit.

Oh and one day a silly woman in a Mini might even drive over your foot.

Nice to meet you both, shame you didnt hang round longer so we could have bought you a couple of coffes for making the journey.

Oh and nice one for the "lap of honour" you both did before you left

It was great to have been there. We had to get back for a birthday dinner else we'd have happily stayed till the stars came up... thinking about it do you see the stars in London what with all the light pollution?

As for "lap of honour" erm *cough*, bloody one way systems.

We'll be back!

I'll show you how if you like.

Ian, he said "thank you for the offer though". Just in case you're struggling with the text speak, it's how all the youth of today communicate on their cellular telephones. Dashed annoying for the older folk though. HTH

*Hangs head in shame*

It was just a quickly dashed off missive and I forgot who I was speaking to.

Note, I haven't edited it and will take my turn in the virtual stocks.
