1. No open container law - people drink beer on the bus, in the park, walking down the street, on the playground, etc.
2. People standing in the wheelchair/stroller(they call them buggies) area of the bus and refusing to move when Charlie and I struggle to get his stroller in there (even though there is a sign that says priority should be given to wheelchairs and buggies. I can see why city people would get cranky after years of using public transportation.
3. Almost everything being closed by 8pm.

There is really no open container law? Are people drunk in public, or do they just drink?
I bet you sport a beer can every time you go out, don't you. The best accessories - Bud and Charlie.
I don't think there is an open container law, or if there is a huge number of people ignore it. I did see a sign in one of the parks that said that a police officer may ask you to stop drinking or something to that effect. People don't seem drunk, just casually drinking a can of beer. There are a lot of convenience stores/news stands where you can buy one can of beer next to where you buy cold sodas and water.

Oops, didn't mean to post that under Josh's google name. Oh well, you get that it is me.

I was so excited for a minute to think that Josh had a blog!
I had the same reaction "Josh has a blog too?!" ... oh, I guess not. Today was bath day - although I think we are going to start having baths every day now that he's awake for longer stretches.
He's such a cutie!! I took a bath with him today and it worked out (meaning he didn't poop on me) - he's getting better about them, but he wants to be held or wrapped up in a warm towel through the whole experience.
City people!!! When I went to Scotland I met a girl named Alex who was on crutches who had a horrible time in London getting knocked around by people on the street. But you can tell them that you're an American and all Americans have guns, so watch out!

From the bottom of my heart, and because I love you SO much, I think you should change your blog title from "Transatlanticism: Notes of a London-Bound Mom" to "Transatlanticism Notes of a London-Living Mom" and then blog accordingly.
