tower bridge is falling down

on top of the london eye

best overheard conversation last night in london eye pod between two American ladies who were looking at one of those skyline guide things, trying to identify everything.

Woman #1: Where's Tower Bridge?
Woman #2: Ah don't know
Woman #1: Well Ah thought it would be really obvious. It's like bright blue isn't it?
Woman #2: Ah think so.
Woman #1: So where'd it go? That's Bucking-ham palace, that's Waterloo... Ah don't see Tower Bridge nowhere.
Woman #2: Well maybe they tore it down. They done tore London Bridge down, y'know.

I was snickering in the corner throughout this exchange then kindly informed them it was actually round the bend in the river; we were now too low down to see it as it was blocked by buildings along the south bank.
