Reply to "Chesil Speedster - my planned winter overhaul of '98 build"

@Michael McKelvey  That happens all too frequently in London.  Besides suffering jet lag (always worse traveling west to east) all of the traffic is approaching from the wrong direction and on the wrong side!   What's up with THAT?!?!?   I certainly hope she wasn't badly hurt.  I've had more than a few close calls, myself.

I was usually fortunate to either get in and out of Heathrow, never leaving the airport, or took a cab to Hounslow, right next door.  Made one trip with a London veteran when we had a 3 hour lay-over at Heathrow so we checked our bags and jumped on the tube into town, hit three stores, a pub for lunch, signed the Queen's guest book at Buckingham, then stopped at Harrod's and still made it back to Heathrow in time for our connector flight.  Left to myself, I would still be wondering which tube stop to get off at on the way into town.
