Rugby fans. Trying to get off the Circle line at Baker Street I was almost forced back into the carriage by a veritable scrum. Let people off first and leave the scrum to the pitch you rude gits.

A mixture - several English accents but lots of Argentina shirts and a heck of a lot of All Black shirts.

Like stepping back in time. Drinking in a bar and having to shift because someone is letting smoke blow my way.

Only trouble is. I am in Egypt and everyone is so last century.

Draught Sakara more than makes up for a bit of smoke!
We went during summer and it was the only thing cold enough...

Don't quite agree. I'd expect a certain amount of consideration from both sides. When it is plain you're blocking people from getting where they need to, friggin' move. You shouldn't have to tell people what's blatantly obvious.

I'm one of those old school types who actually looks around occasionally.

That's what you get for shopping in Poundland - you don't get that in Waitrose I bet!

No, their butler would shove you out of the way instead. Poundland is essential for 35mm film for me. Would be an expensive hobby otherwise given how many cameras I have!
