1/12/09 monday food shopping, LME

Not a whole lot going on in the morning, just taking it easy after an eventful weekend. While standing in line for the checkout we realized that it was later than we thought and we had to make it to the London Metal Exchange for our tour, and we had to rush back to the flat. We ended up running down Edgeware Road to the tube stop. Running in dress shoes is not fun. We got to the Bank tube stop with about 10 minutes until our tour and asked a random police officer for directions. Apparently he sent us 3 blocks in the wrong direction, so we asked several other people on the street for direction and no one knew where the London Metal Exchange was located. We eventually found it 10 minutes late, but we made up the lost time watching the video. The LME was very small for an exchange, and it was interesting how they alternated trading different metals instead of trading them all at the same time.
