What about the pound?

 

[Marla Hellwig]

Morning and if I missed you joining us, welcome

 

[MrsG]

For those Americans, it would be $21.82 plus tip or 24.07 tip included!
I'm fine with tip included, one less thing to worry about!

I second Caro. Tip included would be the easiest! Thanks so much for doing this!!!!!

So sorry about your aunt, Barb.

Wow, we really have to get going on booking things in London. We'll be there 2 1/2 days and haven't done a thing. We will definately prebook the Eye, not sure what else. Thanks for all the tips. Keep them coming!

Loo - bathroom (Toilet)
chips - french fries, Oh no, whilst I understand your explanation/ translation, English Chips are NOT french fries, French fries are 'french fries'. English chips are far far far better.
crisps - potato chips
biscuits - cookies
pudding - any dessert (according to my friends)
tomato sauce - ketchup Either.
starter - appetizer Either
main - entree
lift - elevator
1st floor - to us is the 2nd floor
ground floor - to us is the 1st floor


Does this help you a bit?

Confused!!!

Euro went down again today!

 

[MrsScooby]

You are welcome. I think with 1½ days you can get into a lot of trouble....I know I can/could.


Sounds like most will be busy today. We have the funeral at noon, with viewing an hour before. So it's going to be a long day.

Hope today went smoothly for you Barb

Euro went down again today!

Must get to the bank

Confused!!!

Chips better than french fries? Depends upon where you go...

French fries vary a great deal in the US from place to place. They are almost never very good when they are massed produced as they take a bit of attention to oil temp and cooking time that the big places don't have time for.


So tell me what not to say in London so as not to affend
I know to avoid all references to politics and religion are a given...but what else?

 

[MrsScooby]

So...
a few questions of my own.

Someone on the main board had a question about an Oslo pass versus an Oslo card.
My Rick Steve's book refers to the Oslo pass and I can't find any reference to an Oslo card. Are they the same thing?


Also, planning on getting the International student ID cards for my kids as they are not very expensive and might save us some money. The website is not really great about describing what you need to do though. I know there is a college nearby (George Mason) that is listed as a place to get them at-do I need to bring passport size pics with me? Do I need to bring my kids with me or can I get this without them? Anyone done this yet?


Rick Steve also says the student ID card might be better than the Oslo pass-so now I'm not sure if I'm getting 4 passes or 2

Anyone else this far along in their planning??

Our Oslo plan is -Askershus fortress, Resistance museum, Kon-tiki museum and then the Viking ship museum- DIY, not sure of the order yet though

My family just nods their heads when I talk about this

I think he had enough with you

I think he is getting sensitive in his old age (As he knows me I am not a post in the wilderness)! Besides most of us Yanks are rooting for the Dollar for this trip it would be a nice change!

I hope your registry is okay with your eye sight

I will survive I just have gotten far or is near sighted lately I can see everything fine whilst I motor!

It is raining here

We are breaking rainfall records for March!

Good morning

I'm guessing Andrew is just busy as he knows your sense of humor.

Don't have to worry about eye tests since I got Lasik
I do need reading glasses sometimes now for very small print though

I think he had enough with you

I hope your registry is okay with your eye sight

Cloudy and gray here-probably rain soon.
