London Still Rocks!

Just started  two nights of cheap shows courtesy of CT. Tonight, I saw  Ancient Grease , a parody of the famous musical,  Grease , but - well - set in  Ancient Greece ! specifically, on  Olympus , and focusing on the love affair between  Hera  and  Zeus . Showing in the  Vaults Theatre  - which I could walk to, in a pinch, considering we had another Tube strike today. Happily, we were absolved of the duty of going into the office this week, because of the strikes.

So I decided the most sensible thing to do was to catch the #47 - which, amazingly, was coming - it wasn't going to Waterloo, but it was going to London Bridge , and I could catch the Jubilee Line from there to Waterloo! ...
