Tourists of London

Tourists are a fact of life in London. They're everywhere (especially in our neighborhood), and for the most part they are ok. A friend of mine just recently collected several suggestions for tourists on her blog:

When you race up to be the first person at the turnstile, don't choose that time to find your transport ticket. If it's not in your hand, you've negated your place at the front of the line. (Excuse you, now move over. )

I have one more suggestion for the many tourists we see near home:

If you buy one of those dumb looking money belts because you are afraid of pick pockets, don't wear it outside your clothing. All you are doing at that point is advertising where you keep your money. These things are supposed to go under your clothing to make it harder for bad people to steal your money.
