The funny thing about the CCTV is we don’t really notice it – which is frightening in its own way and what the installation was bringing to our attention, I think.

The weather, on the other hand, is something we’re confronted with and deal with all the time. Our obsession with the weather is so much a part of who we are as a nation that it’s ‘normal’ to us – and it takes a visitor to change our perspectives.

The change in the British, as a nation, when the sun makes an appearance is an amazing thing to behold.

Thank you for the post – and for a fresh viewpoint

Beautiful addendum.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Last time I flew through London it was pure hell…and that was for a simple airborne hop across the Channel (outside of the Schengen Zone). They weren’t service-oriented at all, and, in fact, I think there were going out of their way to be mean-spirited and intimidating. The queues were serpentine and annoying, and there number of “hoops” I had to jump through in order to get to my gate — I intentionally don’t choose London when travelling back to Canada for holidays. I don’t care if it’s 300 bucks cheaper…I won’t go through *Heaf-row.*

As for London itself, it’s a pukey city. Never wanted to travel so far only to speak more English with people, hehe. (Incidentally, I had the same feeling when I went to South Africa or New Zealand).

Signed,
