Tenuously linked to the Canada Gate and Canada Memorial, Green Park, London
If you have stood next to this memorial, you will probably know why it happened.

For those of you who haven't:

The memorial itself is a water feature, and is regularly maintained by the company who installed it. I was sent there to carry out some work on the boring behind the scenes stuff that makes the water come out.

I live in Leeds and had never been to this part of the capital. A quick check of the map revealed it was VERY close to Buckingham Palace.

I set off at 4am, got there around 9am, saw the gate and the memorial, but quickly realised the memorial itself was inside the park.

Finding a suitable place to pull over I tried to find some contact information so that I could enquire as to where the fuck the contractors were who were supposed to be opening the gates allowing me to go off-roading.

It soon became apparent, that I had maybe chose the wrong place to mount the pavement and stick my hazards on, because Mr. Armed Policeman strolled over and informed me that I had in fact parked in front of Downing Street.

15 minutes of questioning and vehicle checks over I was allowed on my way. Unfortunately I picked the wrong lane and ended up circling past him, only to miss the turning again and have to make a 2nd pass.

The rest was ace though. Saw changing of the Guard, A helicopter land in the palace grounds, and a Cockney called me a cunt!
