1. When crossing into the UK, be very nice to the border guy and have all forms COMPLETELY filled out.
2. Penny Lane is NOT in London so don't ask for directions unless you like looking like a fool.
3. French train stations have pigeons flying around inside. Watch your head.
4. French people are very nice to poor lost tourists, even if they do charge you 50 cents to use the toilets.
5. Bathrooms are free in London.
6. It's probably not the brightest idea to ask your hosts if they will be serving tea later on, while you are in the middle of eating a huge meal.
7. London has a lot of Starbucks. Paris does not.
8. In London, it's cheaper to take your Starbucks sandwich outside than to eat it inside. Unless you say it's to go and change your mind after you pay.
9. Phone cards and pay phones are very difficult to figure out. And no not because some of us are blonde.
10. Belgian waffles are amazing.
11. The Chunnel is boring. So is London Bridge.
12. London Bridge is not falling down.

London Bridge is not falling down because that's the new one. The old one DID fall down. Just had to share.
And, geez!, what's up with you and your Starbucks??!!!! I didn't even drink any today...
Miss you and glad you're having fun!

Hope you are enjoying the rest of your trip. It was nice to meet you went you stopped in London.
Sounds like you had a bad experience with our customs. We english have an even worse struggle when we try to enter the US (we need addresses too and campsites are "not valid addresses" for americans, we also need proof that we are leaving the US and one way tickets out of a canadian airport sometimes don't count). We also end up with having our finger-prints taken and our eyes photographed. There are very good reasons why I always try to entre the US with my canadian citizenship papers.
Who asked about Penny Lane? Sounds like a reasonable question to me. Didn't the Beatles sing about it? And aren't they from England?
FYI the old London Bridge is in Arizona. When you get homesick for Europe you now know where to go.
