Live Camera phone pic of the day.
Only in London. A traditional Tea and Camera Shop! They don't sell coffee, but you can buy a Leica or a Rolleiflex box camera for £500!
HINT: The shop is in Rathbone Place, Fitzrovia. They really know tea and they really know photography! Rathbone Place is only a few yards behind Oxford Street, but a little 18th century oasis with some great pubs. And, of course, the starting point for the London Literary Pub Crawl.

Camera phone pic of the day. Old and new
The Charles Dickens Pub with the Shard in the background.
HINT: Southwark (pronounced Sutherk) is much more now than the old broken down desolate warehouses of 20 years ago. But apart from Borough Market, Shakespeare’s Globe and the wine lovers fun house that is Vinopolis, there’s not a whole lot for the tourist. Although there are some ‘genuine’ boozers. And of course, The Shard, Europe’s tallest building. It is about to open a viewing platform.
As we know, the real Charles Dickens now drinks in Soho, with the London Literary Pub Crawl!

St George's Day random pic.

This is Pete, who happened to be walking round Smithfield Rotunda when he was grabbed and asked to pose for this St George’s Day pic. We forgot to ask what Pete does for a living, but he wears ties and red roses rather well.
HINT The British are fairly low-key when it comes to celebrations, although we are getting better and we liked the Olympics last year. The Cross of St George (and indeed St George himself) are shared with other countries . In fact, according to Wiki, St. George is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.
We fly his flag though and particularly at big national football games. And never call football soccer in the UK. It’s not soccer. It’s football. Thank you.
