In a land of funny signs - and I have taken pictures of a lot of them - this was the funniest sign I have ever seen. It was on the side of a portable rest room at the train station, platform 18. Portaloo!
BTW - these crazy Brits not only drive on the wrong side of the street, they also walk on the left side of the sidewalk - but only sometimes - so you never can tell which side to walk on when you are about to crash into someone. A little confusing.
On Friday I gave Mandy the day off from entertaining me since she was getting a little stressed about studying for her exam. I went to Covent Garden on my own. It is a fun place. An outdoor market, cute shops and some amazing street performers. I saw a guy get out of a straight jacket in 90 seconds, another guy walk across a tight rope while juggling knives and the best painted man looking like a statue that I have ever seen. He was completely covered in copper paint.
I called Mandy in the evening - from an actual red phone booth! - and met her and her friend Jessie for dinner. Jessie suggested a Mexican restaurant and it was pretty good. I even had a margarita and it was delicious, though small. Almost felt like home. But not quite...

Matt and I saw the same guy get out of the straight jacket. He was kind of crazy in the head.

Yeah, he was. But I guess you would have to be a little nutty to make your living by escaping from straight jackets. On the other hand, at least he doesn't have to sit in a cubicle for 8 hours a day and then drive home on the freeway for 2 hours. (Hmm, maybe he's not so crazy after all...)
