Back in London

After a week touring around the north the bus finally made its way down to London, where we will be until polling day. Yesterday saw us on the set of The Bill, though unfortunately they parked us outside the local pub and bus stop rather than the police station. It was still great all the same and luckily we avoided the huge downpour that struck London in the middle of the day.

As we made our way to central London we stopped near The Oval for some fish and chips. I happened to see a local sandwich shop which boasted homemade pies. Of course, as the sub-title of this tour has now become the pie challenge how could I resist!

Our pie eating expert - otherwise known as Kevin the driver - tested out a slice of steak pie. His verdict was that the pastry was not as good as Galloways' but the filling was far more substantial.

I'm having to divide my time between the bus tour and preparing for U-Day next Tuesday. Organising almost 150 different leafleting sessions on one day and involving over 500 people is a logistical nightmare but I'm sure we'll get there in the end!
