I just bought the 40mm on a whim. I'm full frame now so it's theoretically good for walking around, haven't taken anything other than test shots with it yet but I'm going to use it this week.

if you're near London, Aperture have a (Mint-) 17-55mm for £370 at the moment.

Shooting is mainly architecture and portraits (or what would have been disparagingly called 'holiday photos' at one point) I guess. I have a 10-24 and a 70-300 that I usually also carry in the bag so it's really something that I can leave in when I'm away and will be good for 70+% of shots.
I threw the Tamron in because at one point there was talk as far as I can tell through limited digging that the Canon 24-70 was the business but is out of my price range and the Tamron is the affordable equivalent.
And arse, I only left London this morning.
