Already seen it. Could easily give those guys a run for their money. Yet to see fit healthy security/police officers.

Just as important as the Beefeaters at the Tower of London I would say.



And the Beatles!

Fosters and Steak.

But without my friends there it wouldn`t mean that much to me.

I went to a Wilco concert in London, had a fun time there. I especially like the cabs!

Same here, but it could do with a jolly good cleanup & new stock...they're still running the C69's & A59/60's which are in a shabby condition.

London is a great City and has much to offer in its own style. I haven't seen the half of it and I've lived here all my life! Black cabs, the tube (underground), Intercity trains, we do OK. London pubs are a legend. Any Setizen setting foot over here will get bought a pint from me. If you can't manage warm real ale, we'll find a cold Fosters somewhere :-) Or a Landlord if you want to venture a bit farther afield.






I do miss the pubs. When we eventually make it back for a visit I expect us to meet up again in one of those pubs!

You got it Es, no prob, just say when, we'll be there, promise. And make sure you bring that reprobate Hev with you, wouldn't be the same otherwise. Hope the BF is a bit more than the BF by then ;-))




London sounds totally Tubular Chris... :)

Oh and that's a good thing too.

Chris, the BF and I have been living together for over 2 years now and are raising 3 kids between us. You know I've never cared much about marriage, but he keeps dropping hints and giving me puppy dog looks whenever weddings come on TV. If I do give in and agree to tie the knot you shall be one of the first to know. I promise. :D

I do however intend to take him to London to show him around at some point and introduce him to some of the crazy seti people from that website that I have his computer crunching for. London as a tourist would be fun I think.

We went to by a fancy charm bracelet for myself the other day and he pointed out a London bus charm for it. I had to explain to him and the shop assistant that I'd had some bad experiences on London buses and am not sure I wanted a constant reminder on a bracelet!

So a useful tip to visitors to London, don't sit upstairs at the back if you can help it. You are probably ok in the centre of London, but anywhere else you are likely to come across people doing unpleasant things there.

As one who lived in London for thirty odd years I can truthfully say that my favourite London road sign is:
