Bryan a local guy at "Curtain's Up" Pub in London -

This next picture can only be described as a MasterCard moment.  After spending a good portion of the day at St. Paul's, Tami wanted to venture out on the Underground Subway once again.  This time to take a picture of grandson, Baron, at "Baron's Square" Station.  Yep, we thought it would be cute!

After we acquired the needed photos, we decided to seek out a pub in the vicinity and partake of a little fish and chips.  We came across this really traditional looking neighborhood pub, by the name, "Curtains Up." 

We hadn't been there any time at all, when I spotted a Brit, by the name of Bryan, at the table behind us.  He had a lion's mane of hair, and he had pilfered the flower from a girl's hair sitting next to him.  He had obviously had more ale than most.  And I felt compelled to say, "I need your picture."  Imagine what went through the mind of my camera lens, when he spontaneously, flashed us with this shot.

I guess we can describe this trip as follows:

  • Round trip fair to London - About $900. Dollars.
  • Lodging on the top floor of a London Hotel which has no elevator, air-conditioning or hangers - 85 Pounds a night.
  • Underground, Bus and Train Pass for 1 week - 41 Pounds.
  • Meals for 3 per day - About 40 Pounds.
  • Fish & Chips + 3 Ales at the "Curtain's Up" Pub - 29 Pounds
  • Opportunity to see a Brit blasted out of his mind on Ale, and trying to lick his own nipple - Priceless!

And for everything else - there's MasterCard!
