Get off work - want to grab a quick meal and keep working in the hotel - yet restaurants don't open until 9pm...! HELLO...

Damn...EXACTLY how it was when I was in London this past Feb. We stayed in the financial district and got a kick out of the people there. At lunch, places were packed and people in suits and work attire were downing bottles of wine and large meals. We were in vacation so we took our time eating but these local people got there before us and were there when we left. How long is there lunch hour?? [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
At 5pm, the flood gates opened. Streets were so packed with people running to the subway or to the bars. All stores and business's were closed at 5pm sharp. Weekends..forget about it. It was like a ghost town there.
Really strange outside the US.
