Lock up your daughters!

The tourists have arrived! Large groups of jet-lagged muppets, wandering between the Dam, the red-light district, and the Anne Frank house. The teenage footballers from Brazil are identically clad in their track suits; the lesbian moms from the US are identically clad in tapered stone-wash jeans and matching baggy shirts. Pack mentality at its finest. I just wish they wouldn't move en masse -- cutting through them on the back becomes a challenge to rival anything on "I'm a celebrity ..."

Oh well, one more week and I'll be cursing the tour groups wandering around my neck of Winchester, pausing outside Jane Austen's house and wondering where Mr Darcy lived. Joy!
