Off to London

I expected you would say nothing less.

@pgiblett How come?

@MALUSE You have talked about London before I seem to recall.

That is what the Underground network is provided for, to stop you walking.

@pgiblett I have ended up walking more than I have used the underground.

@pgiblett Sounds reasonable but isn't for a tourist. After all one has come to *see* things. All tourists walk too much in London even if they use the underground.

@Drosophila it really is a good place. I loved it!

It's a good place for sure :)

So would I.

@Drosophila I disagree Heathrow is a great airport.

Erm lol no! Am flying to city airport, that was a photo of "the docks" as the flight is about to land. I avoid Heathrow the best I can, horrid airport. Am a Londoner too actually. :)

@pgiblett it's far away, pain to get to if you're not in paddinton, always treat you like a criminal going in and out, check in takes ages, no enough seating place outside departure in terminal 5, terminals are too far apart. Transfer between terminals are always a stress. So ya I fail to see what's great about it, unless you mean the shops? But then I don't go to airport to shop. I just want to get to an airport fly, or land then get out. Heathrow is a time sink for that. I do however like BA and always try to fly with them, am a member of their club

@Drosophila We're on the Costa Blanca - just arrived today and will be here for a month - yaay. Enjoy your trip too.

I do like Spain, where are you in Spain?

@jaboUK wow plenty fish! Take some pictures and share :)

That would be good to read those articles. Not a fan of Heathrow, especially terminal 5! Best thing about Heathrow, the express lol

@Ronrybs omg long Piccadilly line with stops at everything.... Never again lol express all the way

@Drosophila When I used to commute I'd catch the Tube from T5, it was almost like home!

@Drosophila Yea it is always nice to get away, but then it is great to get back home again too.

@rosekiss I have moved so much, home is a relative thing these days :)

Thanks! It's a great city, it would be good to see my friends again

@Drosophila We could not see the activity at the Buckingham palace. Is it there on Sundays now?

@allknowing activity? You mean changing of the guards? That happens daily I think. My friend was one of the guards, they don't have day offs. These are elite soldiers of the British army. So ya their guards duty are real ones. Not sure what other activity goes down there. Now and then there's the queens coach going past but that's occasional and not a routine

Wow that must have been a very long time ago? Nothing close now in weekend

@Drosophila Thanks Wendy for the FF definition..I knew that why didnt I remember? huh? lolz Oh yes the Pall Mall parade.. Never seen it but did go to the palace of course.

@TiarasOceanView F 'n' F just sounds cooler yo! xD

Ya the Queen's coach? There's a little parade they do occasionally down Pall Mall. Family and Friends (F&F) :)

Family and Friends. Thanks thanks

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I'm losing it slowly though, been living as an expat for too long

Lol you'll like mine then! Hahahha I lived in London for 10years. It's a great place to see

@Drosophila its definitely on my bucket list and bless your accent. My wife does a very good impression lol

Oh exciting ferry across Dover! Did you like Dover?

@Gabugs ah did you get to see the cliff of Dover at all?

@Drosophila We didn't stay too long in Dover. Especially to board the ferry to meet up with my sis in Belgium.

Thanks! Ya that was a shot of the river Thames and the "docks" as the flight was about to land

Canterbury is gorgeous too! England is full of pretty places

@Drosophila Cool I hope you hope a great time, for Plymouth from London, cross the m4 to Bristol then turn left lol

@kevin1877uk HAHAHAH I don't drive xD

Thanks thanks! Family and Friends

It's a cool place! :)

@Drosophila LOL was it snowing when you went?

@gudheart nahh it was hailing

It was good, very cold! way colder than Ireland.. which to me is odd!

It's a great city, so many things to do!

It's a great city, but you need 1 week to see it properly and don't go during winter

Thanks thanks
