interesting treatment in London, shooting 'clay pigeons' for sport is a past-time of the monied in these parts, I wonder if the fast track city licences are mostly for bankers weekend jollies?
- evgen 10y agoGot it in one :) A noob investment banker who is going shooting in the country with a well-heeled client is the motivator, and you also need to understand that the "City of London" is not the London that you are thinking of. The former is a weird holdover from ancient times that is centuries older than the city of London that you visit on vacation. It has its own special laws, and for a long time it had its own police force.
- vidarh 10y agoWell, quite a lot of tourists do visit City because of things like St Pauls and Museum of London. To put it differently: City is one of 33 regions of London (the other 32 are boroughs; City is not a borough), and one of the very smallest. > and for a long time it had its own police force It still does: https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/ https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/
