Now this story wasn't too bad to read and I actually enjoyed its' contents.
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- The guardians of Britain's historic Tower of London are enlisting woman power for the first time in their 522-year history.
I am glad to see that they are considering a woman to apply as well as having a chance to work for an organization such as "The Tower's Yeoman Warders". Many of you might wonder as to why the nickname "Beefeater", well according to the article it states
Beefeaters, believed to have earned their nickname from their daily ration of meat, date from 1485 when King Henry VII formed a bodyguard.
Now of course some of you who read this especially men might probably add in the comment "Beefeater, what kind of beef?" So if you feel the urge to think it that's fine but don't mention it, it might upset some folks.

In London they actually cater to and protect their "wards," the birds (blackbirds or crows???).
Londoners, a superstitious lot...
