I always loved the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Phil and I were walking to the pub when we came across this sweetshop that made me stop dead in my tracks. I felt like I was in the movie - now I just need a Wonka bar and a golden ticket!
Walking around the city it is easy to forget which way to look before crossing the street. It has been so ingrained in us to look right for cars, but since they drive on the opposite side one should look left. Thankfully there are reminders on the street.
In the subway you are reminded to watch out for space between the tube and the platform with the note Mind The Gap!
Afternoon tea of scones and clotted cream is a tasty tradition. I am not sure how clotted cream is made, but it tastes like a mix between butter and whip cream.
These are just a few sights that are uniquely British!
