Wendy, so glad you had a lovely, if tiring, day out. And what a bonus: not only are you the thread's meeter & greeter and medical advisor, but you are now our "in-house" London tourist information person.

Just wanted in a small way to help Barbara out for when she's in the good old UK - specifically London Town
Tis Kay and forgot to tell her to go on a boat ride and London Eye - however the water level is down on The Thames atm and the waters edge is not a particularly pretty site The London Pocket Map will help her no end truly. It was our saviour today. And forgot to say looked for Josie around TV Central and walking back across from St Pauls to Covent Garden we happen to pass Australia House and Melbourne Place :D:p. Wondered about going in and asking if they had a prize draw with the winner getting a 3 month stay in Oz Also in Knightsbridge we walked passed this tall bloke and hubs said that's whatshisface - I said who - he said he used to play for Reading FC but only for a short time at the beginning of the season and then went to Portsmouth to play - small world
Bib 1: I'm surprised you didn't!
Bib 2: LOL - that's what I call everyone these days!
You sound as though you had a great day. I hope you get to meet Barbara somehow or other.

Jeez Louise....wish you'd been our tour guide when we were there recently. Never saw half of what you did today. Wanted to go on the London Eye but weather wasn't too good, except for the last day when we thought we would do it then. Daughter was very sick and we had to stay in our room the whole day until it was time to leave for our flight. The hotel manager was great she let us stay foc until it was time to go.
Barbara ...I've got a spare Oyster travel card you can have with a few quid left on it. You can top it up anywhere anytime. Also my daughter downloaded free tubeapp on her IPhone. Brilliant....we were hopping on and off the tube like locals. :)
Barbara have just got back. Bits of info for you in and around London Town
At all of the overground major London Train Stations you will find a slim chest high machine. They store an invaluable London Pocket Map at £2. The give good street maps of London, show all the Attractions (ie Theatres, Museums etc), London Docklands etc and fit easily into your handbag.
We travelled to London arriving at Paddington Station at 10am. Walked down to the Southbank walking across the Embankment Bridge to the south side. Turned left walking eastwards to London Bridge, just beyond which is Tower Bridge. En route we walked passed TV Central, National Theatre, Oxo Tower, Tate Modern Gallery (free entry otherthan if you want to go & see major exhibitors), Founders Arms behind which we stopped for a Starbucks coffee , Shakespeares Globe Theatre, Westminster Cathedral ruins, The Clink Prison (London Bridge), fantabuloso Nando's , Southwark Cathedral, Golden Hinde (£6 per adult to walk round), (at this point just further on is The London Dungeon, Britain at War Experience, Tower Bridge Experience and Tower Bridge), we then crossed London Bridge, walking northwards to The Gurkin, we then backed back going back across London Bridge to a fantabuloso Nando's restaurant we had previously walked passed - scrummy food was eaten . After lunch we walked back along the Southbank westwards back to the Millennium Bridge and across until we came to St Pauls Cathedral (admission here is £15 per adult). Walked westwards to Covent Garden where on the edge of the Strand/Covent Garden you will find the Theatre for Lion King . Up to the Piazziari where there are always performers (today 3 in total). Then (take a breath) got the tube to Knightsbridge where we stopped off for coffee before venturing into Harrods - had to take a look at the Pet area - they had Cavalier King Charles Puppies - daughter wants one desparately
My glutius maximus is now detached from my limbs, I am starting to seize up from all the walking but boy oh boy did we have a fantastic day out. I shall sleep for England tonight. There are so many other places to go Barbara, this is just a gist of my day. Safe to say I am cream crackered :eek:
Get the London Pocket Map it will be your saviour
Glad you had a good day Wendy - you packed a lot in there!
Can't believe there's no-one here. Is this the the beginning of the end - has everyone defected to Facebook

pmsl To be fair my post was full of a load of jibber jabber, nonsensicle, but hopefully Barbara may pick out a few places she'd like to go to and the map is brilliant. Tube map is on there too in case she loses mobile connection

I'm here too - trying to jump between fb, twitter & here. Don't like twitter tho, but will persevere.
i had'nt done facebook till yesterday and am finding it harder than twitter to be honest i think i will need lessons but some good stuff is being posted on there

Neither do I - scared someone would work me out, already lieing that I don't do twitter, couldn't cope with two secrets:o
Have a good nights sleep and take it easy tomorrow,should do the trick
High 5 Lizzy, Hubs knows I do thread so does daughter, but son would go ape. No one knows I do twitter they would all go ape. And if I did facebook my daughter would find me immediately as she hunts down everyone with our surname in case we are related pmsl :eek:
Farking hell! Handful of posters & I'm stillll ignored!
Who said that :eek::cool:
I've had fb for years & years (twitter for about 3 years) but I'm a bit of an oddball & have decided not to join the fb group. I use it mainly for family & friends so will stick to that.
So this is where I'll stay - me & my invisible cloak!

I'm on twitter and she keeps saying she wants to join and asking how does she do it....I keep saying I don't know...... the girl in the phone shop did it for me. \my daughter knows my twitter name so I'd need to change it and my profile pic....it's her little dog. :eek:
