Quote from: BMacTry going to London. Soho is e-m-p-t-y after 9:30.
Perhaps that will change, since they plan to start running trains overnight on weekends.  But part of it is just due to the fact that a lot of places close at 11.  

(Also, isn't Soho kind of where old people go to the theater?)

Soho is where old pervs go to the "theater."  Old folks go to the theater in the East End, which is just south of Soho.
Ah right.  Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Regarding Jim's question, I didn't mean either of those things in a literal sense, it was just a poorly chosen (especially in light of Jeff's correction) attempt to illustrate that Soho being empty after 9:30 doesn't necessarily mean London as a whole shuts up shop early in the evening.

Mine wasn't really a question, but trying to make the point that:

1:I don't like the term "old folks" when it seems to be used in a less than positive manner. And I don't mind calling myself, old, I AM OLD.
2:Young people do go to the theatre as well. I did, as did many of my friends, at your age. And we went out after the show as well.

You're correct on both counts, and that's why I admitted that it was a poorly worded attempt.  I didn't mean to cause any offense.

And everyone should keep in mind that "YOUNG" is not a permanent state.::uptosomething::

40 is old when you're 20. If you first see Animal House in HS or college, Dean Wormer's wife is clearly an older woman. Verna Bloom was 37 when the movie was filmed. It's all relative.

Well, for that matter, "OLD" isn't permanent either... it does come to an end.

True, but you hope that old comes first.
