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:

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:

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.

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.
