First Gridlock, Then the Pub

Successfully ensnarling rush hour traffic in West London without getting run over really makes one thirsty. So, after an exhaustive photo session in London's most photographed crosswalk, we nipped off to the pub up the road from EMI's studios for a drink before heading home. Suzie likes a drink called a Shandy, which is one part bitter ale to one part lemonade (the European sparkling kind, similar to a 7UP). However, her friend Niina told her about an even better drink, which is hard cider and blackcurrant cordial (called, appropriately enough, a Cider & Black). So while I made do with another pint of tasty cask-conditioned ale, Suzie mixed herself a Magner's Cider & Black, which was lovely in the cool spring evening with a side of pistachios.
