[Who's Wee Dug]

Well when Japan win their Worldcon bid it will be just down the road for you then Pooh, and that will be August or early Sept. where it will cost me a lot to fly over, last time it was about £900.

I've done everything I put an asterisk next to, plus I stayed at Bath for a few days. I was like an effing prune when I left Bath.

Was the duck tour good? I like the idea of a bus just driving into the Thames. :dance:

(Pip, there's 4 days at Centreparcs to relax and take it easy. )

You going to love Bernard's shop, if you like cider a few doors up there is Uncle Tom's cabin cider pub the real Sommerset stuff, Dolphin across the road and the Bear the oldest pub in Wincanton.
Check the open times as they close one day in the week.

I'm driving!

 

[pip]

Teach one of the kids

 

[poohcarrot]

Well, they can both drive well playing Go Vacation (wii), apart from deliberately driving into rivers, so there's a chance. (I'm not going to make the expected sick joke, St Patricks Day and all that! :dance: )

I really can't use the touchpad on my laptop. Can anyone?

I can and I do. I have no mouse on my classroom computer.

I use the touchpad on the laptop, but I'd prefer a mouse.
Sometimes the screen on the laptop zooms in or out of its own volition!
Darn annoying!

Oh, sh**, sorry, I must've got it mixed up with something else. I think they talked about the Thames and the bridges and so on on the ferry we took from the South Bank to Greenwich. I think it was the South Bank, anyway. I'm certain that we took the ferry from a terminal near the London Eye, I'm just not sure where that is supposed to be situated.

 

[Batty]

The London Eye is at Westminster, Q.

The duck tours BRILLIANT! It runs from the London Eye (Wheel) and I think it still goes into the River beside the MI6 building (yes it does - click the link ). Not as good value as the hop on hop off red buses, but definitely worth the money for the river part alone

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Q it would have been the Woolwich ferry you were on to Greenwich.

 

[Quatermass]

I only know that the ferry ran at least from the London Eye to Greenwich. I went over three years ago now, the precise details are a little fuzzy. I just thought the London Eye was south of the Thames...

...which, according to Wikipedia, it is. And it's not Westminster it's in. It's Lambeth. Don't worry, I found it hard keeping track of all the little districts and boroughs. I was lucky that I could navigate the Tube easily. The hardest part was coping with ALL THE PEOPLE!!!
