G20 and stuff

Just like yesterday, no soap dodgers were to be seen in Bank Street this morning. Canary Wharf is full of bankers in jeans. The demonstrators are either at the ExCeL or are lazy buggers who are still in bed. I bet it's the latter. Yesterday things got nasty in the city, but not as nasty as was expected according to City AM. Which makes me wonder what was expected. They had missiles for god's sake. And a guy died, which I guess could be seen as a occupational hazard.

The rest of the focus is on the Obama's. They visited the queen yesterday and presented her with an iPod with footage of her 2007 visit to the US. Who very 2009 - a pretty cool gift. Queen 2.0 next?! According to the highly reliable London Paper, Gobama brought 200 security staff, 300 other staff, amongst whom were 4 speech writers (and here I was thinking all he needed was that clever 27yo and the presence of Starbucks). Several heli's and cars are also said to have been flown in. Was hoping to catch a glance of the Marine One out of my 24th floor office window in Canary Wharf but no such luck this morning.
