It isn't easy being Green...

You know what, green gets a bad rap. Snakes, boogers, the root of all evil (money, well, in the US anyway. They've got all kinds of screwy rainbow bills here in the UK). But it really is good stuff. The squash on my specialty pizza, delicious. The lettuce and avocado in my ORGANIC chicken salad, amazing! (Really big on that vegetarian/organic stuff here. Not a personal fan but it's good to go green ;p) The glorious shimmer of my glossy green scales, absolutely mesmerizing. But best of all is the brilliant neon green glow of a freshly poured glass of Absynthe.  Yes there are countless other unnamed emerald wonders, but the point is it is all green and it is all great! You've gotta love the UK! Who doesn't love double decker busses, left handed shifting and hallucinogenic alcohol?
Although, in slinking around I have noticed a few less than desirable commonalities in this country. Firstly, where the hell are all the trash cans! It's a magnificently clean country but where is one to dispose of a Mars bar wrapper or freshly finished can of beer? It's great that you can drink in public almost anywhere but honestly! To avoid pegging other annoying tourists takes a lot of strength mate! Personal will power and all that bollox. Especially when you could pull off a crotch shot at 20 yards and that jabbering japanese tour bus seems to be following you, but now how would that reflect on my beloved country?
Secondly, what does it take to get a decent cut of meat around here? A LARGE 8oz steak for nearly 20 pounds? No. No bloody way. A proper 16oz steak maybe, but blogger in cyberspace I'm AMERICAN! Give me a damn cow already! I should at least have the OPTION to eat myself into an early grave. Yes they're healthier here, yes they watch their portions more, but am I really supposed to suffer through a mouthful and call it a meal? I think not. But after all, I am an Alligator. So I bought 4 stole the silverware and got the hell out. Thats all for now. Cheerio Chaps! (My accents better already! ;p)

Here are a few links to take a look at the things I've seen today.
And this is a great money saving tool I found, it paid for itsef twice over the first day!
London Pass
