Today was a good day of people watching. First thing in the morning on the way to work, a lady in a bright green pair of mountaineering boots, big socks and a short flowery dress walked off the tube at my stop. I own a pair of those boots too and they take some breaking into. Didn't quite think stereotypically fashion conscious Londoners would do that, even ones that love the mountain and we know there's another stereotype there as well. The thing is even though they are great mountain boots, walking on flat, paved terrain in them is not fun. The sole is fairly solid- a bit like ski boots- but the lack of flexion means you basically rock forwards or backwards and its a rather funny gait, particularly when its not observed in its normal context.
On the way home I saw a guy who had plaited his beard into two pigtails. Enough said.
