You’ve lived in London for years, so going on the London Eye for the first time is going to be a piece of unimpressive, tourist-covered cake, right? Wrong: settle in for a half-an-hour roller coaster ride of emotions. Here are ten things that'll probably cross your mind as you ride the big wheel.
1. 'Is that a ring? Is that guy about to propose?! Oh, no hang on… yup, definitely just tying his shoe. As you were, stranger couple.'
