They got rid of the light-up pavements in Future World? 😭 😭 😭

You are dead right. One of my husband's nieces worked at a Louis Vuitton shop in Paris. They sell SHEDLOADS of things like key fobs and tiny card cases and wallets. People come in to gawp at the mega-pricey bags (few of which are sold) - and then buy €50 key fobs (That cost LV €2 to make)...

Good thread idea! I live in London - and my family enjoys attending concerts and shows for free. The BBC always needs bums in seats for radio and television programmes. We've seen many classical and jazz concerts - and a few quiz shows. A good - and totally free - night out in our very...

Here Lies Dear Old LaughingGravy Sailor Of The Royal Navy Got Blotto In The Onboard Pub So Never Saw The German Sub

Thanks for the link to the article. I'm with most of the folks in the comments...I wish Disney would just limit folks to one [insert limited edition geegaw here] per person!

Oh, No - the Crocs! :hilarious:

I don't read many TRs these days - but OH how I love yours. And to get to read about such a L-O-N-G holiday...I can't wait! PS: My DH always comes out later, too. He can only manage Disney in small doses. ;)

We can't get those candy corn pumpkins in England...but I am TOTALLY going to get one of my American girlfriends to send me a bag so that I can do the jack-o'-lantern faces on them for my (annual) Halloween "graveyard cake." What a FAB idea - thank you for posting it.

Coincidence! I have been recording the new programmes and just watched the first one tonight with my 8 year old. I wish I had watched it myself first. :( DH and I are pretty careful/conservative with the media we allow in the house, but my son loves the old Muppet Shows (they were filmed just...

Oh, those Dia de los Muertos ears that you made for your mother - heavens, all the ears - just FAB! :) Do you use a template for the "ear bits" and then attach them to an Alice band? Will you share your secret? I'm all "ears"... :cautious: Looking forward to the rest of the year...already...

Hmm...what American things would Europeans like to have? Your petrol prices and labour laws. Oh, and prescription drugs that were discovered AFTER WWII. ;) Seriously, though...it used to be very difficult to find American groceries here, but now they are much more readily available. I can get...

LOL! I remember the first time I visited The (American) South. I was very excited indeed to get a picture of...The Piggly Wiggly! Just like in Driving Miss Daisy...:geek: It's funny - DS (8) and I were going through some pictures the other day and we came across that one. He was...confused...

My DS (8) was over the moon to buy his Figment comics in the Imagination Pavilion. I then bought the hardcover omnibus at Forbidden Planet (here in London), as his comics are getting rather battered due to re-reading. I have such wonderful memories of meeting Dreamfinder and Figment...it's good...

Broken record time here...but you take OUTSTANDING photos. You and @fractal - when I see your pictures, I want to: 1. Sign up for photography lessons (though this would no doubt be hopeless, as my art teacher once told me!) 2. Book a holiday to WDW, despite my pledge to spend my theme park £££...

I, like you, have only the one child. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live apart from him. And when we are away from my DH for extended periods of time, it is just SO HARD for us all. I'll never forget a flight we had - it was extremely turbulent - and my son was frightened, very...

This one's for all of us old enough to remember the submarines (RIP 20,000 Leagues :(): When I take my kid off a crowded train, I always say what they used to announce at the subs' point of disembarkation: "Please take small children firmly by the ear, watch your head and step." DS used to...

What you need is a "Kraft Paper Gatefold Scrapbook". Kraft Paper is the brownish paper used, gatefold is the type of card/album that opens out, well...like a gate. ;) I have one of these, but I bought it years ago - you buy them plain and then decorate them to a theme. Had a quick look 'round...

Not that I would ever suggest that the nanny state mentality here in England has anything to teach America...;)...BUT in England, France and much of the EU, if you want a special accommodation - you have to provide a bit of proof. When I go to one of the Merlin parks (they own LEGOLAND...

OK...I was shopping on Oxford Street in January. The Star Wars dresses were in one of Selfridge's (huge)main windows (for men/foreigners ;), Selfridges is *probably* the most important/influential department store in England). There was a Luke Skywalker dress that was particularly striking, but...

This park SHOULD get built. I've been to a couple of the meetings (as an observer only, a family member is a solicitor involved in some of the property issues). The planning permission(s) are proceeding apace (that's a S-L-O-W process here) and there is general goodwill. The enormous success of...
