Learning to love London

After a season in the African outback, the homeward itinerary read Nairobi-Paris-London-New York, but I got seriously snagged in London: I fell in love! Not with London, but with a foxy French girl who was living there. We embarked on a whirlwind transatlantic romance, and six months later I found myself living in London-whereupon I promptly fell out of love. With London.
It was the $15 chicken that did it. I'm not talking about a nicely prepared dish in a naked celebrity chef's restaurant, mind you, but a jaundiced-looking specimen from a local shop. Multiply £8.25 by the $1.80 exchange rate-which has since gone up to $1.88-and that's what you get. It was as if I'd been slapped upside the head with the thing, like a stooge in a vaudeville act.
