» Stupid Tourists

I was on bus from London to Nottingham....
...while a American student (Californian accent, wild hair, sun tan, LOUD) discusses his London sightseeing with his mate at the top of his voice.

Being a common antipodean I'm loving the scene and the heavy air of disapproval on the bus. *Imagine* talking (talking!) out loud on a bus. I think the thing that hurt the Brits most was that he was a visitor from a country that Brits have such a marked inferiorority complex to, and he *wasn't obeying the rules*.

Anyway, his best line was : "So I got to, like, Buck-ing-ham palace, and I'm all like "Yeah, so there's the GARAGE, where's the PALACE?" Dude. Whoa". Or something like that.

Hope all London B3tans are OK.
