Overheard in Notting Hill

Guy whose girlfriend dragged him into American Apparel: "There's just too many pastel colors. I feel physically nauseous."

I have to say, I definitely agreed with at least the first part of that statement.

Overheard in Bath

Is it just me, or is England the best country for overheards ever?!

Lady in the (very sturdy) bathroom at the Roman Baths: "Is is just me, or can you feel it [the building] moving? ... I could feel it when I was on the loo."

Overheard in London

No time for a full post, so here are some overheards:

Tour guide at Tower of London:
"Any Americans here today? You enjoying England and this sunshine? Could've all been yours if you'd paid your taxes."

"All right, everyone, I need you to make a rather large gap so I can get through here. Not that large."

After a really specific list of places and dates: "I'm just making this up folks, you know that."

When there were some stragglers as the tour moved to a new spot: "Come on, you lot, stop sight-seein'!"

"On to the execution site, chop chop!"

"If you liked my tour, my name is Chris...if you didn't you can call me Kevin."


Little girl at the Tower of London: "I'm wearing my most cutest outfit ever!"

Kid at Tower of London, in regards to the Yeoman Warders: "Mum, can we go have a look at the weird men with the funky hats?"

Walking tour guide describing Henry VIII's jewels and finery: "He was a bit like a ginger Mr. T in the 1500s." (She was pretty much spot on, compare them for yourself: Henry VIII vs. Mr. T.)

Guy in Kensington Gardens: "He's got this thing where whenever he meets anyone his own age of the same sex he just hates them. He just instantly dislikes them, yeah."
