Returning to sanity.....
« on: 29 May 2018, 15:43:21 »

In the hope of returning the Forum to peace and good humour, I have a story against myself that might amuse.

Last Sunday (20th) I went to London to the annual Photographica camera fair, which I always enjoy, but tinged with sadness because one of my favourite stallholder told me that he had Cancer; it just shouldn't happen.
Anyway, after the Fair, I exercised my bus pass and went to Camden Lock market - wow, how crowded and all of the ethnic yummy food stalls were crowded and nowhere to sit and eat even when you got served.

Onwards to Trafalgar Square to sit by the fountains and cool off, as it was a very sunny day. Ok, that was a mistake - a diabetic with a full bladder should not sit next to fountains with statues spouting water into ponds of water!
Into the nearby National Gallery looking for a "comfort station", but none to be found.
Ugh.
The pub across the road had what I needed, but I had to buy a drink first!  :-[

Relief ensued, without accident!!!  :y

Return indeed . . . .

National Gallery does have toilets, downstairs I think, but they don't make it easy as they keep getting all these diabetics with full bladders sitting next to the fountains . . . . .    ::)

Yes, they do, but there are so many "special exhibitions" to go through with excessive fees to pay before you can get to them.
But you made me larf, Mister Rog, so that's ok!  ;D

Don't think I didn't consider it, but there were SO many people about, most with cameras - and a TV film crew - so I did not want to feature on the evening news! :-[ :-[ :-[

You're gonna get me a bad name, you are.  ;D

I seem to remember that there are a multitude of pubs around there, so was never a problem for me. Pigeon crap, on the other hand............... :(

It would have been a far more amusing tale if it hadn't been resolved without accident. :)

Well, if we are in fantasyland, there was this scene with a nurse (Joanne Whalley) in "The Singing Detective"......... :P :P :P
