I know you are frustrated, S. Sorry about that. It seems hardly worth the effort. I was looking forward to the photos but I understand how frustrating it can get to spend hours on a computer to do a simple task and no joy in sight!

And, now, your photo of the antique shop has disappeared!?!!? I was going to try to figure out what the link was you used there.

That is a great photo of the baby crying, though. ;~j

I'm so glad it finally worked for you, S.

I'll celebrate by having a cup of tea and a vienesse whirl.

Whickwithy

Enjoy! You deserve it for delving the depths of the maze that is the web.

Charing Cross was actually named Che're Rein or Dear Queen by King Edward I after the death of his dearly beloved Queen Eleanor. A cross was erected everywhere they stayed during the funeral procession to London. Charing Cross was the last stop.

Thanks for that little history nugget. Let's keep this thread going because I love all things to do with history.

Any more name stories or places where you've visited please add on here. I definitely plan to see more places.

It's just struck me Sen. The way you Mother Goose people on here, your ideal occupation would be a holiday rep. Sorting people and things out. You would be a natural.

As you wish, S.

Good God. Are you suggesting I become a holiday rep for the 18 to 30 groups. Dealing with drunkards all day, catfights, urinating in swimming pools. All day and night clubbers.

Eee by gum. No.

Tour operator maybe with the more intellectual? :)

Howdy, Stranger!
