I note, though, that in 1192, there is no mention of that chief characteristic of That London: drinks taken with lots of ice. Perhaps when ice houses were introduced to Britain (1660s, according to Wikipedia), Londoners found a new way to define themselves, and gave up all the buffoonery, magic and miming?
