So, are you in Trafalgar Square?

flere-imsaho · 03-23-2006, 10:49 AM

Across the street from the British Museum is (assuming the front entrance) a relatively decent pub, if I remember correctly.

Right around the corner (towards Buckingham Palace) is the Texas Embassy!

Typical tourist - more impressed that his phone can send e-mails across the Atlantic than the huge amount of history and culture before his eyes

Qwikshot · 03-23-2006, 11:10 AM

Been there, done that

Have fun dude...least the pubs are open later.

You can't go anywhere in London without tripping over a pub. I thought there was only one close to our office at Hyde Park corner, but it turns out there were 10 within a half mile!

AlexB · 03-23-2006, 11:11 AM

Dola,

DT - in case you don't see it on your phone, there are lots of smilies after my previous post - hope you enjoy our hospitality! Even though it's still damn cold, it is unbeleivably 4-5 degrees warmer today than recently

Well, he mentioned just a generic, lower-caps "british museum", so I made a guess and thought he was referring to the National Gallery.

3ric · 03-23-2006, 12:31 PM

Sorry, thought it was obvious he meant "the" British Museum.

rkmsuf · 03-23-2006, 12:33 PM

Order a champagne American.

although you'd have to be in France to do that

What would have been great is if he answered, "No, the place I'm in has a giant pole in the middle surrounded by a bunch of fountains."

Unlike us locals who live here our entire lives and have yet to see half of the 'culture' ...

We do pubs well in England* - Norwich (city in Norfolk) was very proud a few years back that it had a pub for every day of the year (leap years covered

) .... probably has more than that now

*Although most of them are slowly turning into glorified restaurants - which doesn't bother me too much personally, just so long as they still televise the soccer matches when they're on

The Grenadier was basically right behind our office. I don't see that one turning into a glorified restaurant any time soon...

Sometimes I'm still not sure whether things I post have come out as I intended - my 'typical tourist' post was taken as a joke, right?

(Not saying it was actually funny btw, just that it wasn't serious)

Quit worrying, shorts! Everyone knows you were actually slamming Torgo's touristy behavior. I mean, if you were joking, you would have put at least 30 more smileys after it.

I think the exchange rate has gotten a bit more favorable, but when I was in Europe about 16 months ago, it was cheaper to just order anything like that I wanted online than to buy it there. I thought that was kinda crazy.

That's in Portsmouth not London.

Edit: You may be thinking of H.M.S. Belfast, a WW2 battlecruiser, which is permenantly moored on the Thames.

DaddyTorgo · 03-24-2006, 01:57 PM
