ARE TOURIST GUIDEBOOKS ALWAYS RELIABLE?
Most London guidebooks introduce visitors to the principal hotels, recommending a few good restaurants and the virtues of St Paultasks Cathedral. But (1) those who pick up the Lonely Planet Guide will be educated in underground etiquette, and directed to the Millennium Dome for architectural inspiration.
While the guide is quick to point out the drawbacks of what it describes as one of the planettasks most crowded cities, (2) il is also keen to stress the positive aspects of London (3) which are rarely celebrated.
London residents are controversially described as victims of increased pollution and overcrowding, which makes them aggressive.
Visitors are told of the capitaltasks residents: "Dontaskt try and be their friend: theytaskre too absorbed in (4) their own world of workmates, school friends and family." The guidetasks authors — Steve Fallon from Boston, Massachusetts, and Pat Yale, from Bristol — are particularly exercised by the underground system ("slow, unreliable, and terribly expensive"). (5) it does, however, have a "rigid etiquette" which visitors ignore. "Where theretasks an escalator you absolutely must stand on the right so that people in a hurry can rush up or down on the left. This is an extremely important rule — and should you break (6) it, you risk getting pushed aside or verbally abused."
Responding to the guide, Louise Wood of the London Tourist Board denied that the capitaltasks citizens are difficult. "All our surveys indicate tourists think Londoners are very friendly. Four out of five of (7) them thought people here were quite friendly or very friendly. And even the underground equals or exceeds (8) their expectations," she said.
