English History - Old and Detailed!

Parliament, from across the Thames
I was abruptly awakened this morning, when some fool-ass Frenchman came knocking at my door, asking if I wanted coffee!? Then after that, when I was trying to go back to sleep, Mom called me!
We all went on the morning tour, visiting Westminster Abbey and the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. There were so many people at the latter. I ran all over, trying to find a place to see something. And when I finally did (on the knee of a statue), I got a threat to be “hauled down to the station” by some pig English cop!
We ate lunch at Leicester Square, and then went on an afternoon excursion to St. Paul’s cathedral and the towers of London. We didn’t get to see the crown jewels; the line was much too long, and hardly worth the wait. But we did see the “Bloody Tower,” where many famous persons were executed.
I couldn’t understand why Tina was so fascinated by English history, but now I can. It’s so old and detailed!
