Richard Thompson's most recent release "Mock Tudor" contains a song called SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF LONDON TOWN which quite cleverly (IMO) depicts a seamy side of London that the Board of Tourism, or whatever the appropriate organisation is, probably doesn't want you to know about. Is there an advertising campaign over there that Thompson might be doing a parody of? The refrain at the end of every verse is "It's the sights and sound of London town, the sights and sounds of London town."

Just curious in the colonies,
