Nope, guess again Jack. The Smart on the right is, err, errant. The Rover on the left is right.

Re: You go to the Ritz...I went to the Savoy...
Hi,
thought you might find this amusing....
My wife and I traveled to London a few years ago for a holiday. One afternoon, we were out iin typical tourist attire visiting the sights. e decided to stop in the Savoy for lunch. We entered from the back "Thames" side, and was greeted by a proper gentlemam near the entrance. He looked at me and questioned my attire after us asking about having lunch. He politly refused our entrance with mentioning " Sir, it's the pants"! the problem with my attire was, I was wearing bermuda shorts. We quitely left the Savoy, laughing all the while, as we entered a little nearby Pub. To this day, we still smile when recalling this experinece. We did have dinner at the Ritze, by the way, while there, as well.

I have stayed at The Savoy.
Trivia: what is the unique feature of the Savoy's entryway?
Obligatory London photos; it was a beautiful day.
And the view from inside the Eye.

Those are some great photos. I hope to see those sights myself someday, and make pictures of my own. Looks like you had a beautiful day.

Re: so i went to the Ritz in London a few days ago
I know the answer to the trivia!
The photo's a great clue.
A friend who lives near London just confirmed it by email.
Does anyone know the reason for this setup?

Allegedly, it is to facilitate turning around.

Well, heck if you want photos /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif ...
View from the Eye looking South (I think). Bonus points for anyone who can identify the building in the background and why it is famous - the one just off center with the white smokestacks?
Nice shot of Tower Bridge.

The "eye" ride look like it would be more fun if the cars didn't rotate - hehehehheehe.

Exactly. My "Eyemates" (it was a "teambuilding event" for my London based group) had a lively discussion about the physics involved to keep the "pods" level so we didn't flop around. Revole vs rotate and such.
There may have been a bottle of Champagne involved too, can't recall /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif.

Re: so i went to the Ritz in London a few days ago
sorry gang - we tried to get in for that stupid afternoon tea and they wuldent let us (me) in because i had jeans on (250 pounds of jeans but still jeans) and no tie - then in the afternoon we went back with the friends we went with (we were 4 all in all wisting london because ive never been there -stayed at the hoxton hotel btw, quite nice) any how - we went back at about 19.00 and took the menu for some 85 pound and a bottle of wine in the bar as apparitif - then some 4 bottels for the food and a expresso to finis - was super nice
but was in the evening - sorry for the confusion guys.-
ohh and james - regarding the fat duck - yeah was nominated and made it as best rest in world year back - but that kind of food is what we call fusion food -heres an example of what fusion culd be like -
if ya take baby spinat (spinach?what popeye eats) and boil it and take a needle and take up the juice wich is all very very green - thats named klorofyl -the u take an egg from a quale (small bird) and semi /just barely boil it in vinega so its noot cooked yet - then u take the needele and enjeckt the green stuff in the yellow thing in the center of the egg and it geets all green - at the same time you take another empty needle and take out the original yellow stuff from the egg so it wont burst- then u cook the eeg on a pan and you get a green thing in the center with taste of spinach. -
thats all show food and a friendof mine just next to my restaurant makes that kind (he just got named as the best cook/chef in Denmark this year. ive tried it(the kind of restaurants) a few times but seen one youve seen it all (not really but just hate food with no substans in it)

I know! I know! I think it's Battersea Power Station. Used for the cover of the Pink Floyd "Animals" album.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! Pretty much an empty hulk now. There was redevelopment plan a few years ago for shops/nightclubs, but it never materialized.
