1. A "subway" in London is not the same thing as in the US, at all. Here, a subway is just a walking path under a road, so you don't have to cross a very busy roundabout. I crossed quite a few very busy roads before I figured this out. What I was thinking of is just called the underground.
2. I do not like pounds. They're too big and they're all different sizes! Who came up with the idea of money that does not fit in a wallet. And coins? I don't much care for them either!
3. I really miss my unlimited data iPhone service! I am absolutely lost, both literally and figuratively, without it. I'm going to try to figure something out with O2 (the local cell company), but I'm not holding onto much hope.
I have conveniently provided this stick figure drawing, so you can see approximately how large their money is!

And the Canadians thing we're odd for not using color coded money.
Well, the notes are that way to benefit the visually- and, ahem, literacy-challenged Britons. Wouldn't it be nice if you could pull bills from your pocket by feel like you can with coins?
My favorite was the 2 pound coin, which seemed like it actually was 2 pounds, and could accommodate a small dinner salad.
