Long Walk & Camden on USA TV

Yesterday we went for an afternoon walk outside the city. We hopped on the train for 40 minutes and half-way through the ride, Andi says 'This looks like America!' Translation: 'I can see green grass and trees!' The plan was to walk a little bit, stop at a pub, and then finish the walk back at the station. However, shortly after leaving the pub, we missed a turn somewhere and ended up wandering around these fields for an extra hour, so by the time we got back to the train station we were exhausted.

Then last night, I watched the Ravens game. Here's the crazy part: There's a new advertisement for Windows called "I'm a PC". On the one that aired last night, there are lots of people who say 'I'm a PC, and I wear a suit' who are wearing all types of specialist suits. Then one guy says 'I'm a PC, and I don't wear a suit'. Behind him is clearly visible the pub that's around the corner from our flat! He's standing on the pedestrian bridge that crosses the canal and leads into the West Yard of Camden Lock market. I was so excited I stopped the game and rewound it to make sure.

I saw it too!!!!!! I always freak out when I see shots of Camden on TV - even if it's for a split second. :)
