Seen at a Starbucks in Hampstead:

A muffin label reading:

"Skinny peach raspberry
Bursting with blueberries"

Diane spotted it. Once a copy editor, always a copy editor.

To be fair, it looked like they had crossed out the top line of the original label and replaced it with the skinny peach bit without updating Line 2. Funny all the same.

I took Jay to Hyde Park's famed Speaker's Corner today to see freedom of speech in action: Christians, Muslims, Socialists and others arguing their points of view before audiences that often argue back.

The speakers set themselves up on stepladders or rostrums, then hold forth to an audience ranging from a handful to perhaps 40 or 50 people, depending on how interesting the speaker is. Talk about your free market of ideas!

The best speaker we listened to during our visit to the northeast corner of the park was a Muslim in skullcap and robe who served as an advocate for his faith. Challenged at one point, he defended the practice of Islamic women covering themselves.

"I do not put my wife on public display," he said.

He was responding to a middle-aged woman who, by her accent was probably American and possibly a tourist. And was not covered. It made for good entertainment.

This was the second week I went to Speakers Corner. Last week, I saw this gentleman.

I was surprised today to see a picture of the same man wearing the same billboard in the guidebook "Eyewitness London."
