I have not been back to London since I lived there in 1999. We don’t have long to go until our holiday, so at the moment I am thinking of the following… in no particular order –
– Shopping at Boots
– Eastenders – perhaps one of the best theme songs?
– Hello! Magazine at a good price
– Fortnum & Mason
– Listening to the BBC and hearing the pips and also this –
– Chips and Curry Sauce
– This Shipping Forecast. Note – when I was staying in Edinburgh a few years ago, in my hostel I only had my walkman radio to keep me company. I would just listen to the BBC constantly. I loved the Shipping Forecast. I learnt I’m not the only one… this guy has even set it to music.
I’m also going through a UB40 phase at the moment. Don’t ask me why… I used to love it when they would play Red, Red Wine at Underage Metro but this is a favorite of mine –
And as someone who loves Robert Palmer, this is such a great version of I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight –
