I've been to Glasgow several times.. and I probably will be going back this November... I go every time Carl Palmer plays the Renfrew Ferry..

However I love Fife... Loch Gelly & Cowdenbeath... lovely places to stay, the people are so nice, and the food seems pretty good...

I agree - I went to Edinburgh with my company. One guy tried to expense a night at a strip joint as a "Bacon sandwich"...

We had such a brilliant time, apart from the work.

London's cool too - I work very near there. Go to St James' Park armed with a bag of unsalted peanuts and pretty soon you'll have squirrels climbing your trouser leg to get at your nuts. You'll need to fend off the pigeons, though - and don't give peanuts to Pelicans. Their beaks can hold more than their belly can...

Britain is GREAT!!!

I just love the British Iles

OK VC...then meet me in Inverness on Nov. 18th at the Invershin House... or Glasgow at the Renfrew Ferry (its a club on the river) on Nov. 19th... I'll be the only girl following around Carl Palmer's band... you can't miss me!!

Is London ready for the Velve???? What part of London? I'm only 20 miles north - pretty busy over the next few weeks, but possibly share a beer???

Thanks for the invitation JIM

but perhaps next time I´m in London, got so much to see and do this time around

Next time for sure JIM and I´ll be buying the drinks

I´m staying in Bayswater near Hyde Park.

London will never be the same ever again

My mum is from Glasgow and one of my sisters was born there as well. When I was in bonnie Scotland we rowed out on Loch Ness and waited for Nessie for about six hours and guess what? The bastard was a no show.

I believe there is a Loch Garten in Scotland - such good taste, these Hibernians!

I am indeed the Loch Garten Munster!

I'm going to see Nessie in November... Carl Palmer told me she would probably appear for me and give me a high five... I'm waiting for that...
