was just girl-about-towning in South Kensington this evening (as she does), on her way to a rendez-vous with Roland - an impossibly handsome German hairdresser with a bolt through his nose, a spike through his ear and his underwear on display - when she was stopped by a random American tourist. Random American tourist: Excuse me, miss? Miss! Hi. Do you know where Herods is? It didnt sound familiar. Me: (politely) Hello. Im sorry. Could you say that again? Random American tourist: HERODS. Could you point me in the direction of Herods, please? Me: (confusedly) Er - no, Im very sorry. Im afraid I dont know it. Random American tourist: (now looking mildly annoyed) You dont know it? You dont know Herods? Really? For real?! Me: (slightly icily) Yes. Im sorry. As I say. I do not know Herods. Random American tourist said OK, duly backed off, and disappeared into the darkness... ... At which point, I realised that of course he had meant Harrods (although not that he was going to find it in South Ken.) Later, Roland poured conditioner in my ear, and cut off two inches more hair than I had asked him to. Somehow, I feel that I deserved it. Londoners, huh? So unhelpful.
