Peter Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 1 minute ago, GunnerBill said: I thought the same about the police. Thought Arsenal - City was a banker for the 5.30pm Saturday slot. As for the broadcaster they do the games in blocks. So only about 6-8 weeks in advance. Agreed. I am not going to let this ruin my weekend. With any luck, the Bills and Arsenal both win. Now I have to figure out what to do on Saturday. I see that Fulham and Crystal Palace are both at home on Saturday. Have you been to either stadium? P.S. I usually stay at a hotel in Paddington but they raised their rate to a ridiculous amount. I am staying at the Mondrian London Shoreditch. I have never been to Shoreditch. Any thoughts regarding that area of London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West End hotel prices were ridiculous. I enjoyed exploring a different part of London Spitalfields market is right there, and to be honest the energy of the newer/younger London has shifted east.

That’s especially true with the fact that they drive on the opposite side of the road. They literally paint which way to look on every street corner. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen a pedestrian step out into traffic because they were looking the wrong way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I love cycling but would not even consider bikes around London for my kids, who are a similar age. Walking and the Underground/tube/bus is the way to go. Its a great system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to reinforce my earlier comment….if any of you are taking kids to London, please be SUPER careful with them at all pedestrian crossings. (Strongly consider holding their hand….even if they resist.) You don’t realize how our brains have been trained to look in the opposite direction for oncoming traffic. It can be VERY dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Monday’s performance prices are going to be dropping like a stone. 😉 (I was going to make a ‘giveaway’ joke but it may be too soon following four turnovers.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never too soon for a joke. Allen treated us a performance of one Monday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
