Got a p******* on Tower Bridge yesterday evening. Stopped on the bridge right by the Tower of London and sat cross legged on the pavement to change tubes. I was concentrating so it took me a while to notice that I’d attracted a crescent of eager tourists who were straight up watching me intently. I can only assume that they thought I was doing some sort of performance or that I was going to start bending people’s names into the spokes or something. Really weird! Properly stressful changing a tube at the best of times but under such scrutiny it was next level. Fuckers didn’t throw a single penny into my upturned cycle cap either!
