As for £22 for a sandwich and drink I am speechless. I could name a thousand places where you'd get a full meal for almost half that. Try the Three Tuns pub in Marylebone or Steam at Monument. Great grub for about £12. |

As we are now heading for a "soft" Brexit, how can we expect to do better or even roughly parallel without pretty much staying in? But I recognise that the vote was about more than that - free movement, quotas, democratic deficit etc. I'm just fed up with Brexiteers telling me we will be better off financially when we certainly won't be - at least not in the short term. Maybe in the future, who knows? Sliding doors and all that. |

I just GOOGLE Hilton London which gave me a map with prices of the many Hilton hotels in London: I also just GOOGLE Sheraton London which only resulted in one Sheraton hotel with prices starting at $363-376 for a basic room: Quote:
I haven't been to London enough times and stayed long enough each time to know all the cheaper places to stay at and all the tourist traps areas to avoid and all the best places to get a decent meal without breaking my wallet. Last edited by Reclaimedwg; July 9th, 2018 at 09:14 AM.. |

I have always thought long term, rather like us voting to stay in the EEC in 1975 and decades later it becoming the EU, there were warning signs but we were told it would never happen Right now we have to say to the EU this is our offer and if they don't like it we should walk away, every time we give in it weakens us. Yes sensible parties always ask for more at negotiations knowing the compromise will be nearer to what they actually wanted. It is not the fault of the UK, if the EU had drawn up proper rules for Article 50 it would have been a lot smoother. I bet even now they are tightening the rules on leaving so that no other state would ever dare to consider it. Hail HYDRA .....

And now for something completely different!
I'd been unaware of this until today. No publicity and no mention by the UK media. http://thehill.com/opinion/internati...oul-of-us-laws It now seems that the bill is on hold for the moment. |

Guess they figured close to Central London was the best place to put us. |

When I was working for that company in the 2000's, I stopped in London over half a dozen times (not counting catching connecting flights at Heathrow).
Never did get any fish and chips. We did go to one restaurant once and one of my colleague ordered Yorkshire Pudding for dessert. He didn't know what it was. He thought it was pudding. We weren't paying attention and didn't hear him order it. The waitress didn't try to stop him. She probably just thought him being a big 6 feet 4 inches tall 220 lbs American, he just had a big appetite. We thought it was funny. The thing came with enough meat to grow an entire cow. |
