Listening to Virgin Radio makes me feel surreal. I hear reports on slow traffic in Kent and Wolverhampton, and the DJ speaks with an unmistakable Brit accent. How virtually whimsical. 

Perhaps a person can only feel whimsical about a place he's never been to. Have you been to London? Whimsical and poetic? Never. No-one in his right mind would feel wistful about London. Excited maybe. Curious probably. Most likely, disgusted - if you have been there. To be fair, I've only been there in transit. Trust me, that was enough.

More about London next time.
