Unfortunately for Robert McCulloch, but not for the English tourist industry, he thought he was buying this one:
Now then, pay attention at the back. We're getting there. The bridge in the previous photograph is Tower Bridge. The current London Bridge - i.e., the re-built one - looks not unlike the original London Bridge that Robert McCulloch bought, except it's in London. Here it is in situ:
But look! What is this I see? It's a publicity shot for the popular singer Fergie (of Black Eyed Peas fame), publicising her new single, um, London Bridge. (The video is worth a watch, by the way, as it features Tower Bridge in all its glory and young Fergie miming the administration of oral love on some Guardsmen with unfeasibly large bearskin hats. I like it, as it goes; I have a fondness for songs with content of a sexual nature.)
And finally, here is a picture of the Empire State Building:

I love London buildings and monuments - they're so grand ! Especially magical is that Tower of Eiffel.
You wil take me there one day with our imaginary love, and we will hold imaginary hands and eat an imaginary icecream. It will be Magical.
By the way, have you noticed that Fergie is wearing tartan trousers? I think they are from Scotland, which is not England, and is like putting a New York police constable in a Mountie's (spelling?) uniform. I am reminded again that most people who work in record companies are idiots (hence Hear'say).
Note also that she is sporting a tiara, perhaps having crowned herself Fergie Queen of Scots, and bending her body as if farting towards Tower bridge. I'd say that, in addition to "My Humps", is more than adequate justification for immediate beheading.
