Today I spent the morning on the pavement at Tottenham Court Station which meant that I got to spend a few hours doing that great pastime of 'watching people go by'. This is a great thing to do, especially in a city the size of London and at the junction of Oxford, New Oxford, Charing Cross Streets and Tottenham Court Road, as you can watch people all all creeds and colours.
In fact, all creeds and colours just doesn't cover what you can see... all shapes and sizes, all ages, and from all backgrounds. You can see people who religiously study fashion magazines and those to whom the word 'fashion' is mearly a handy seven letter word for Scrabble. Even those that still think it's acceptable to wear jogging bottoms and sweats in the centre of town.
The hardest thing about watching people walk by is that it can be quite difficult to decide which direction to look in... up the street or down!!
