One of my favourite buskers in London so far has to be Mad Mike. Mad Mike sat in Covent Garden last night on a chair. His chair sat on a platform. This platform propped up a giant traffic cone with which he seemed to be making music. By this I mean Mad Mike blew a tune into the pointy, thin end of the traffic cone which, due to its larger-than-life proportions, exuded a sound which resembled music ("You Fill Up My Senses", incidentally), but which mostly gave one the impression that Nick was blowing a sort of defiant raspberry at the rest of the (probably warmer) world.
