I know somebody who would like to stay at the hotel inside the Chelsea ground, shall I tell him? No, I'll keep it as a surprise.
Dao, I also twice stayed in the Hilton Islington Hotel, but luckily it was on business, so I didn't have to pay.
Hi, DAO!~Thanks for your informative and creative page! ><><><><
Hello there DAO, I was tip grouping and came upon your excellent new restaurant tips including one very near me which is now on the list. Cheers, fergy.
So you ARE an Ethiopian! Thought there was smthg odd abt you ;-) Now I know what you did on 20/03/2010 at 1613 hours!!
your welcome !
Thanks for the London postcard! *kiss*
I did exactlty that on my first trip to London took the tube changed trains and found myself around the corner. Overground map is a good idea although these days I prefer the bus if I've got the time.
We had 18 inches of snow yesterday, we had a snow day. Still haven't plowed my street, but I'll take the bus.
Haha your tips are delightfully wry. We want more!
