I was in London over the weekend, mainly for a friend's 40th birthday dinner (Greek food, near the British Museum).
But, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign had a protest of 12 000 people strong (as far as my friend Andrew could guestimate), there was the six-mile London-version of the worldwide Naked Bicycle Ride, and I also noticed a number of things that I hadn't before in London:
- a purpose-built cycle parking facility at the Finsbury Park tube/overland station
- Wedge Card (a card to support local businesses in Stoke Newington)
- the anti-airport expansion lobby group, Plane Stupid, sponsoring a stage at a music festival, StokeFest, which itself had pretty fine music and Thai/Caribbean food.
Oh, and I watched hurling for the first time, on satellite RTE at the Auld Shillelagh (again, in Stoke Newington).
