the 24-70L is what I use as my general lens for my 5D. I like it a lot.
A lot of my friends use the 24-105L and they like that a lot.
They both have pros and cons but i'm sure you already know that.
"Standard Zoom" as in 'standard focal length?...Then your choices are pretty simple, either the Canon 24-105/4IS or the 24-70/2.8. Of course some people consider 'standard' to be either wider (like the 17-40) or longer (like the 70-200).
The 24-70L, 24-105L, 28-105 and the 28-135 IS come to mind.
I have the 24-70L and the 28-105 and that little 28-105 on the 5D as a walkaround is not bad.
The 24-105L would probally be my first choise as a general zoom lens.
I like my 24-105 but in the light of a Canadian autumn, it can't hack it. I'm sure the Brits being way further north would have even more issues with F4.

Way further north than where most of the population is. Goose Bay in Labrador (as in the frozen north) is about the same latitude as Liverpool.
Where I am in southern Ontario is about the same latitude as southern Portugal-Spain.
Easy stuff, you just have to look at an atlas. Not really news, just geography.
No, we do not. Where are live (South Western Ontario), it can definitely get hotter and more humid in Summer than in Portugal (and of course, colder in Winter).
