For no very good reason, I decided to go up to Parliament Square today. I have never seen it so busy!
Palace Green is cordoned off for use by the media, with admission controlled by security guards checking passes. Every nutter on the planet was there. Not just the leavers/remainers, but the religious nutters who had managed to draw a Biblical inference from the Brexit negotiations.
Not wishing to disappoint anyone here, I made a point of going into Wetherspoons in Whitehall. It was absolutely rammed, and the noise! I got myself a steak and Doom Bar ale pie, with a nice pint of London Pride (the Doom Bar had finished). Very nice! Very reasonable!
Going from the ridiculous to the sublime, I finished off in The National Gallery. Then train from Waterloo back to leafy Surrey.
