my company is sending me to london for two weeks, and oddly enough refused to pay to have my 914 shipped over there with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Absolutely do the tourist thing. Get out of London if you can and ask a local for directions to a pub. Good basic food, but they serve their libations at room temp. Indian food in a local tandori is not to be missed. Also try real English fish and chips at a local fish place.
Driving on the motorways is quite an experience. Returning from a trip to Scotland (they don't speak American there) we were crusing at 95 or so when a AC Cobra passed us like we were standing on the brakes. By the way, I never saw anyone pulled over for speeding on the moterway, only for not staying to the left except when passing. My first driving experience was in a 1958 Bentley. Steering wheel was huge. At least a dozen turns lock to lock. Nerve wracking to say the least. You really had to work at driving those cars. |
