Can't wait to meet up with everyone on the 22nd of January, but I'm concerned that Dottie will be spending a month at the bar! I certainly hope Rosie and Mickey can keep her company.

HA HA HEE HEE Dave! And a HO HO too!

I'm still hoping he'll do a show in Holland though. :)

You know I've always wanted to see Holland too .... so if Meat shows up there this summer .....

Are those concerts where you can get "standing" tickets and be in front of the stage?

Would he go to Amsterdam? As we holiday there a lot. A lot of you seem to come from Holland, so it would be good if I saw someone off here on there to help me convert my non meat believer boyfriend.

Forget convert, we'd brainwash the poor guy

The promo-concert was in Amsterdam. But the tourconcerts were in Rotterdam each tour, In Ahoy.

The Arena Bar upstairs is roping off a section for us all at approximately 5.30pm, Um is that to keep us all in, or all the others out

JulesB · 21 Dec 2003, 01:26

Plane tickets and show tickets have arrived, hotel is booked and we are learning the "Tube" from a map. Anyone have any "must see" sites in London? We are looking for suggestions, just to make sure we don't miss anything!

Open top bus tour to see "sights" .. H of Parliament, Horseguards Parade, Trafalgar Square, Picadilly Circus, Tower of London etc

Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard
St Pauls Cathedral .. Whispering Gallery
Harrods Food Hall
Fortnum and Mason Food Department
Paxton's Cheese Shop in Jermyn Street (parallel to Piccadilly the street is home of top tailors)
Madame Tussaud's
Tate and National Galleries
British Museum
London Eye
Speakers Corner on Sunday morning
I'd say Tea at the Ritz .. but it's now well over $40 per head!!
Petticoat Lane Market (Sunday's best .. skip the jellied eels, but try a salt beef sandwich)

Trips:
Hampton Court Palace (travel by river launch from Westminster)
Warwick Castle (train from London) Only 8 miles from Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon

Eating:
A pub lunch for sausage and mash or steak and kidney pie (leave the kidney if it offends you, but it will be the best tasting steak pie you've ever sampled)
Flanagans in Baker Street for the best fish and chips in the UK served in traditional Edwardian style
Cathay Chinese Restaurant (just off Piccadilly, and London's oldest)
St John's Wood Curry House .. Indian all you can eat buffet

Thanks for the tips Gina and Caryl. I think we're going to need a vacation after this trip!

*wondering why J insists we have to bring red handkerchiefs to London*

CarylB · 23 Dec 2003, 19:24

You're welcome .. and if there's one at the top of my list it would be Flanagans .. styled as an Edwardian oyster house, both seating, sawdust on the floor, and the waiting staff in Edwardian costume .. they serve the best fish and chips you'll ever experience :)
