Am sitting in dingy London internet cafe with small dischevelled brother beside me. We are battling the British bureaucratic system (car hire places that say they need ‘proof of residency’ but reject passports, banks that will print a statement but refuse to include your address….) and will probably have to head to Brighton by train, the way things are looking. London is big. London is expensive. I knew both of these things before I got here, but now I really know them. Yesterday we walked our feet off; Tom insisted on walking me past Yves St Laurent, Prada, Chloe, Louis Vuitton…and kept looking dejected when I refused to go into any of them. This is in a city where you pay £200,000 for a one bedroom flat. Aie!
Was given various information and advice about travel, but of course was not told the most vital thing. Spain is cheaper than London so buy all your shoes there! D’oh.
