wanna hear a funny Hyde Park story along those lines??Don, she said "bring batter". The poor homeless woman. She must need it to fry a squirrel. Honestly, the way some people are forced to live, these days. No! Don't give her any money, honey, keep walking.
too bad, i'm telling....
Me, my 14 year old niece and my good friend Becs were staying at the London Hilton. It is directly across the street from Hyde Park, a street which is very busy. It took us Americans waaay more time than it should have to figure out how to cross the road to get to the park (do Not insert chicken joke here). I believe we finally asked the bellman directions on how to 'cross the street'. It turns out the answer is: you can't. You have to take the stairs leading down to an underground tunnel that crosses under the road. Yee Haw. So we find the stairs and discover despite the moniker "tunnel" it is not too bad...shiny white tiles and even some artsy ones with various colored leaves strewning the works...alas there was a cot set up with some long-term bedding and assundries stationed around it...a little further down the tunnel was a scrappy man with a guitar singing a lovely Willie Nelson song. anyways we listen approach (tip) and pass by and I say, "he sound just like Willie Nelson." And my smartass niece says, "that IS Willie Nelson!" Maybe you had to be there, but we laughed for way too long about it that day and it still amuses mio....
now back to playing dead (battery)
