They recently held The Slow Down London festival with activities such as walking as slowly as possible across Waterloo Bridge. They contrasted with the businessmen running to their trains.
The idea behind the movement is to encourage people to stand away from the fast pace of modern life and take stock of what they are doing.
The “slow” in the movement does not mean we have to move at a snail's pace, but the ethos is that we enjoy what we do and don't try and cram too much into the day and by doing this miss the best bits.
Other activities during the festival included: wine tastings, orchestral performances, and yoga workshops.
Organisers were trying to emphasise the point that you don't have to live in the countryside to “live slow.”
Meanwhile, I wasn't the lucky person who bought the winning Euro Millions ticket.
That honour went to someone in Spain, who by having the numbers 4, 23, 24, 29, 31, and lucky stars 8 and 9, picked up £110m.
If that ticket was bought by one single person, then they would become the world's biggest lottery jackpot winner.
The last highest lottery win was in Italy in October 2008 when someone scooped £81m playing Superenalotto.
Just by keeping the £110m in the bank you would receive an estimated £1,959 in interest a day.
