You're bored of talking about Richard III's remains being found buried under a Leicester car park, right? Thought so.

In case you're not, please scroll down for Twitter's best jokes about today's top story. But in the meantime, on the subject of #London, here are seven things you CAN'T do in the capital.
1. Get a seat in Starbucks. Or on the tube. Or the bus. Or in the park when it's sunny. Or anywhere, actually.
2. Get a (drinkable) glass of wine for under a fiver.
3. Find a table for dinner in Soho after 8pm.
4. Walk down the pavement in a straight line*.
5. Avoid having the day's free papers/magazines thrust at you in a passive-aggressive fashion every morning.
6. Say "Good Morning" to a stranger without getting gawped at like a crazy person.
7. Get snowed in (damn the TFL website and its super-helpful alternate route finder).

*The inability to walk in a straight line is caused by the volume of central London foot traffic, not anything more untoward, I assure you.

And as promised, here are some of the funnier Twitter responses to the news that the skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park belonged to English king Richard III:

A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been confirmed as that of English king Richard III. Are they just going on a hunch? - @jimmycarr

It is Richard III in the car park!! - No wonder he had a humped back - look at the way he was laying

Has anyone checked Richard III's privilege yet? - @caitlinmoran

If they'd have just asked, one could have told them Richard III was under that car park. One knows where all the Royal skeletons are. - @Queen_UK
