Next week I'm off to visit a VIP in Windsor. Travel arrangements....what shall I do?
* coach to Victoria - change - coach to Windsor
* coach to Victoria - taxi scared2: - train from Waterloo to Windsor
* train to ???(somewhere can't remember) - underground to Waterloo - as above
It's years since I travelled on the underground........... what's it like these days, oh London pals out there?
Of course the other consideration is the price.... being a 'recycled teenager', bus fares are cheaper...... by about a zillion quid!!
I will seek a majority vote on this one. whistle:

Coach to Victoria
Meet Miss D for lunch cloud9:
She will take you to Waterloo
Train from Waterloo
Saying that depends on which day as I am going to a conference in Stratford Upon Avon on Tuesday afternoon through to Thursday night rubschin:

Tuesday sad24:

PS if you can avoid the underground I would definitely suggest you do that . It is packed , cramped , hot and full of tourists reading tube maps evil:
-
Well Lunch might not be possible then but I could perhaps meet you from coach station and take you to Waterloo ..depending on times and what else I have on at work that morning rubschin:
-
Lunch would have been lovely... but honestly, don't worry. I love Stratford-on-Avon...... oh, the days of conferences - residential ones at that!!! eyes:
-
Now now Tinks......there is networking and then there is 'networking' eyes: .......the formal dinner and after party sound quite intriguing tho whistle:

You can also go Paddington >>> Slough >>> Windsor on the train...
Who are you going to see, the Queen? rubschin:

You could, of course, hang around Chelsea Barracks at the right time of the morning and hitch a lift on the coach that takes the Guards out to the Castle ~ not only direct route but also free and comes complete with police escort ~ or it used to. whistle:
Of course the downside is that you will have to hide among 60 guardsmen ~ but I'm sure a resourceful fairy could manage that.
-
Actually that is one of my sillier ideas ~ you would probably be asphyxiated by the overpowering stench of Lynx before you crossed the M25.

Agreed.... but that would involve yet another change..... and with all my luggage!!!!! whistle:
If HRH wants to gatecrash our party that's Ok by me..... she can bring the wine!!! eyes:

Did nobody tell him that he needs to get rid of the sign over his head, visible only to wimmin it reads LOSER!
Also it helps if you don't:
1) Stink like a polecat on heat
2) Have pustules bursting out all over your shaven neck
3) Have a little style and patience
4) Don't give off signals that all you want is for some attractive woman to throw herself at your feet
5) Think you're worth it ~ when you ain't.
