Fun at Soho Square this morning

Had the day off and what better way to spend it than to go off photo-hunting in London. First stop had to be Soho Square where the media had descended to watch the fallout of England's farcical attempt to play football last night.

Bookmaker Paddy Power had rigged up an advertising hoarding truck pasted with their odds for next England manager, and had parked it outside the FA offices. They also had a bunch of guys with cardboard cutouts of potential England managers faces on. I snapped a bunch and 3 went up on Getty - links only as I cant breach my own copyright to paste the pics here

#1 Amused passers by check out the potential candidates

#2 The candidates pose ready for the call

#3 Queuing to get into the FA offices

I used my 580EX II flash in anger for the first time too!

Shame about the Getty etc. TBH it made me lose interest in the pictures, much like these logo's on TV. Sorry just my opinion. Pictures interesting apart from that.
