Other times London Eye came up

  1. He's so happy that James shares that very, very ubiquitous thing. No, my pause was I was suddenly very annoyed that James knows something about Charlie Chaplin, that I didn't, so much so that I didn't notice the joke in what he was saying.

  4. Did you read about the dispute? It's crazy. I know. Because the Southbank Centre were basically able to hold them to ransom. The Southbank Centre served the London Eye with an eviction notice. It's crazy. They wrote to them. At the time, the London Eye was paying rent of 65 grand for this one foot that was on their land. It was just on a bit of concrete.
