Following Orders Under Big Brother's Watchful London Eyes

If you are going to visit London, get used to being told to "mind the gap." This is usually being told to you over a loud speaker, repetitively. It does not, that I can recall, come accompanied with a "please" or "thank you." It is most definitely an order.

The other thing to get used to in London is the feeling that you are being watched. Sometimes a sign will advise you that you are on camera and being monitored. Sometimes you just see the camera. It feels a little creepy, but I better get used to it. Washington DC is now following their lead.
