Four chances to knitblast four iconic London sights.

Stop four. The final stop. Trafalgar Square under the watchful gaze of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson and his four lions.

South-East Lion: Gawd blimey I wish these bleedin’ tourists would stop clambering about on me ‘ead. I sit ‘ere all day guardin’ the Vice Admiral and what thanks do I get, ay? Day in, day aht bleedin’ tourists drippin’ ice cream on me barnet. ‘ang about! Woss goin’ on over there? Oi, you! Girlie!

Deadly Knitshade: Umm. Me?

*quickly stands in front of knitblast*

South-East Lion: You know very well I mean you, sunshine. What the bloody ‘ell do you think you’re playin’ at with that pink and blue thing?

Deadly Knitshade: It’s knitting. I’m… errrr… decorating.

*steps out of the way and waves hands at knitblast in hopefully enticing manner*

South-East Lion: Decorrrrating, she says! With a bit of knitting? Would you Adam and Eve it? This is Trafalgar Square, young lady. Not your ‘ouse!
