        At least he didn't leave any knees because that would be kind of creepy.

        I thought the most English things ever were 1) the fellow who ran from the Borough Market attack with his pint and 2) the fellow who went back the next day to pay for his pint. Not sure if that was the same fellow, but it's pretty to think so.

        Sorry to break it to you, but it's really not common for English folk to walk around with jars of bees. Even less common to take them into bookshops. In fact, I'm a 36 year old English gent and I've never once done it.
