Despite all the talk about London fog and drizzle, we had splendid weather, as you can see from the photographs.
********************************************** |
|  | We took the Big Bus tour which was really worthwhile. Included was a walking tour that focused on the royals. The guide was the funniest, although his northern accent took some getting used to. On our return from Buckingham palace we saw this procession going down the Mall. |
| | His HIGH-ness, Lord Nelson When people visit Trafalgar Square, they are so busy dodging pigeons they rarely look up. This is Lord Nelson, standing heroically on top of the column in the middle of the square.
This photograph appeared in the paper in April 2006, when the statue was being cleaned (which happens once in 20 years). I didn't even know there was a figure up there. |

Here's another one for your list: brainstorm and brainwave. For the British a brainstorm is roughly the opposite of what we mean by it. Also my little grandchildren have to put up with me saying diaper when their mother says nappy. | tiabunna Fri Apr 13, 2007 14:16 UTC
Ah yes, separated by a common language! The Oz version is somewhere between: we talk on mobile phones, put petrol in our cars, drive on the freeway and try to avoid trucks. |
