Walking between the buildings, we walked by a guy with a Falcon mounted on his glove. Apparently, they use these to keep the pigeons at bay. They fly them around the building, take down a few pigeons here and there and the word gets around in the bird community to stay away.
I've been learning even more great phrases that I'm hoping to come back and incorporate into my everyday conversation until it gets annoying:
- Cheers - Thanks
- Cheerio - Hello/Goodbye
- Nick/Pinch - To Take
- Boot- Car Trunk (Jimmy the Boot - Break into your trunk)
- Hops are Beckoning - I need a beer
- Lift - Elevator

Dave, please take lots of notes and soak up as much as you can about London. We might be moving there in the spring.
The best meal in my opinion would be fish and chip wrapped in newspaper by the thames! I'm jealous I loved touring london. So much cool history.

i have heard that nose is sometimes said as pecker in england. please find out if this is true. i heard they use the phrase, "keep your pecker up." and it doesn't mean what you think it does.
Rudi, if you move to London, read the above post. You should take away from it that you not bring any orange shirts along with you.
