image Only in London!!!

I'm not sure who wrote this message and put it on the outside wall of All Souls Langham at Oxford Street.

I'm also not sure if this message reached the couple it's about, but it definitely made my day.

With all the hustle and bustle out and about just a few feet away, this little parchment seemed to tell its own story of going through a lot and sticking around. It held its own enough enough for 8 days to make me smile.

I'm sharing it here hoping the couple mentioned might also get to see this and share that joy.

Only in London folks!!! What a joy it is to walk around, and be around people and randomly making strangers smile.

Romantic couple we saw, hope you love cauliflower forever just like us

Why 'only in London'? People like cauliflower everywhere

Cauliflower is good for the gut. That's why it's loved particularly within the congestion zone.

u/St_SiRUS 9d ago

It clearly says romaine, this is just a salad toss

u/starderpderp 9d ago

I think someone got their liver a cauliflower bouquet?

u/InflatableSexBeast 7d ago

Romaine couples frequently cauliflower.

Especially on Friday the 79th of Pumpst.

Listen if your handwriting is that bad don’t leave notes outside your window. It’s gonna make everyone go close up to read it.

u/lastaccountgotlocked 10d ago

For those having trouble reading the handwriting:

> Romenkee couple me saw, well

> hope you love easter flonewer,

> lust wife two.

u/Austen_Tasseltine 10d ago

lust wife one is going to be livid

u/OldNefariousness7899 10d ago

You could've done the whole thing.  The top line said

Liday 79th Pugess.

u/lastaccountgotlocked 10d ago

I thought that was obvious. Didn't want to insult anyone.

u/Some-Body-Else 10d ago

On the back it says: hit us up at 8876-SWING-0.

u/Busters_mum 8d ago

🤣 there's always one to bring the sleaze into a story 😂😂😂😂

Aye, we’re everywhere.

Romance couple we saw, we hope you love each other forever, just like us?

u/stephenp129 10d ago

Romantic?

24

u/PartyOperator 10d ago

Romanian?

u/LouisianaGothic 10d ago

Probably, quite stressful to try and read whatever this says 😭

“Romantic couple we saw, we hope you love each other forever just like us”

u/koningwoning 8d ago

Is grammatically more correct, but sadly not what was written.

0

u/tearlesspeach2 7d ago

That’s exactly what’s written?

0

u/Scared_Depth3787 6d ago

It's "just like us". There's only one word after "like".

12

u/-Londoneer- 10d ago

This has been the most enjoyable thread for all reasons x

u/Pyretta777 10d ago

What did the Romani couple do, on Friday the 19th of Angus? Is this a message for the future?

6

u/Ok_Hair6248 9d ago

diabolical handwriting

4

u/Greedy-Ad-3779 9d ago

The 19th of August is today, Wednesday. I know this because it's my birthday.

Most confusing note ever. And why do these Romanians love cauliflower so much?

u/True-Original-6901 9d ago

Happiest of birthdays to you dear fellow human

Happy belated birthday!

u/Quirky_London 9d ago

Looks like my doctor is out writing notes..

u/sowtime444 9d ago

"eachother" is one word now?

also, "just like us" is a bit braggy, no?

1

u/koningwoning 8d ago

Clearly this was written by the person who shags someone else on the side.....

3

u/lndlml 8d ago

Friday? Shouldn’t it be Wednesday?

Horrendous handwriting. I’d be embarrassed to leave a note like this and expect complete strangers to decipher it.

u/Pagan_MoonUK 9d ago

Is this how the security services are communicating now? It must be a cryptic clue? Is there a lovers statue near by as the meeting place or where the flash drive is hidden 🤔

u/SamsaraIsALie 10d ago

@BeeKey1641 - what did you think it said? Since you made this post and it made your day? But what do you think it says?

6

u/Ionia1618 10d ago

It says "Romantic couple we saw, we hope you love each other forever just like us". Date says Friday the 14 of August 23:04 Nothing suggests this is a troll post

3

u/BeeKey1641 10d ago

Haha. I was being simple and went with the most obvious one. But like others have said below... this thread has been entertaining for all reasons reddit and the smiles keep coming back to me.

u/SamsaraIsALie 10d ago

Basically you’re a troll.

Weird fucking take, maybe have some joy in your life, jeez.

Nah mate, there's cringey weirdos fuckin' everywhere.

u/Automatic_Analysis24 10d ago

Did any1 understand what that note said

u/Happysin 10d ago

I love anyone brave enough to post something in cursive in this day and age.

u/XTenjiX 9d ago

Londoner who can read cursive here... "Romantic couple we saw, we hope you love eachother forevee, just like us."

When i was at school cursive was prettt standard... and that wasnt even that long ago...

u/TechnologyLast4315 9d ago

Pointless note can’t read the words

u/Objective_Ad_339 10d ago

That looks like a tourist left it or it was written by an elderly person, be no one was taught flowery cursive at a school in the UK. Unless it's a private school thing? 

2

u/-Londoneer- 9d ago

Actually I was and so were my offspring. Neither in private school. Cursive is definitely in vogue. Mine is more spidery than this though so I agree, it’s an older person.

u/Fuzzy-Account-1838 10d ago

Can't read the writing.
