What is the most unexpected/surprising thing that you've learned about London?

Bums sleep outside bagel shops on Brick Ln. and no one cares. And people chain up their dogs outside stores and people don't pay it any mind. People carry little dogs onto the tube. Assholes pee in cemeteries. And they make you sign the back of your credit cards before they'll touch it. Also, random pubs will not serve you drinks if you don't have a "Pass Mark" on your ID. That is, if you aren't British, you get no cider. (Ok, it was just one random lil pub, but seriously wtf?)

Hardly one thing, but I do believe they are all equally interesting observations.

This is where you ask the questions you want answered. Or to make a random comment. Whatever the fuck you want to say.
