It’s amazing what a bit of warm weather can do to the people of London. Today, according to the BBC website was a barmy 24 degrees (73f), which was apparently warmer than San Francisco. While walking to work I noticed a number of things different about the streets of London, for once everyone seemed a lot happier and politer. The number of flip-flops out there is amazing - men and women! The train and tube was busier, this must be due to the warm weather and everyone is leaving their cars at home. The streets are busier where people are walking instead of getting the bus. More cyclists on the road (which is a nightmare for pedestrians trying to cross the road). The funniest thing I saw today was a women cycling down Farringdon Road, she kept her hand on the front of skirt to stop it blowing up without knowing that it was blowing up from behind and showing the world and all the taxi drivers her big knickers!
Another thing I noticed about today was the lack of phone calls at the office - so many people must be off because of the nice weather. If anyone is a ‘friend’ on my Facebook page then you would know that I was the only one in the office today which meant I had to answer the phone. At 10.30am I had my first phone call which was a sales call for our office manager. By midday I had one other call which was a sales call again. After lunch - around 2pm I had a number of calls from the CEO to clients (most of them US based) then after 4pm it died down again. The only way to keep me from going mad by the lack of company was by ‘chatting’ with many of my colleagues - thank you Skype!
