How easy it would be to spend a whole day reading Gary’s Personal Web Page. Philadelphia resident Gary took a trip to London where he learnt lots of useful things he can now pass on to his visitors:

…the numbering on the buildings [in London] is a little different. There are two numbers for each building. I heard that one number is for residents, and the other is for business.

He has taken wonderful pictures of the ‘Millennium Dome‘ (actually, Gary, that’s Embankment Place (clue: the train lines running into it) but never mind).

And his life is full of hilarious happenings:

At one point we had to stop for a traffic light. We were four cars from the front of the line in our lane. I noticed a Philadelphia policeman pull up beside us and pointed this out to Brenda. The light turned green. Our lane wasn’t moving. The car in front was trying to turn left against traffic. The intersection was clearly marked that turning left was illegal. The policeman pulled up along side of the car that was trying to turn. He just sat there and waited. When the traffic cleared, the car turned left, the policeman turned on his lights and turned across our lane to follow the miscreant. Brenda and I cheered.

Ummm… right.

I had heard from a few people in England and Germany that you had discussed my webpage on a London radio station. I was very pleased to hear about it. If you have any suggestions or comments, I’d like to hear them. Thanks!
