Normally this is just never fun, but something you just want to come through and forget about it immediately. Today was different at the very busy London Stansted airport. A massive number of people were crowding in long queues and suddenly a deep and loud voice of an official is heard like a street trader at a marked place trying to get people’s attention.  He makes a recital of all the things you have to do preparing for the security checks.

He sounded so funny I had to ask him to do it again which he kindly did. I wish I could remember it by heart. The way he said it was like a long poem:

Tablets, phones, belt and coats ……. Maybe babies out of strollers.

-Goodbye London and thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back !

I have loved you since my youth and now your air is fresher and your buildings cleaner, but I hope you won’t demolish all of your old buildings and change them with new ones in steel and glass.
