Hi, Rusty!
Your new book sounds as though it will be very helpful to you - you will beat RR at his own game yet!
You would also enjoy discovering London by virtue of the daily walking tours that take place there.
These are called " London Walks" and are very informative.
My friend Sue and I have been on a few - and they are excellent value!

I hope it works!
I went to one at the British Museum - we "did" the Egyptian Room - brilliant!
I've looked at the pictures of Abergeldie Castle - it is near Balmoral , is it not? - and it looks almost to be teetering into the river.
Such a pity.

Trigger was in "Only fools and horses". Plonker was too; however he had a given name - "Rodney, you plonker!"

I've obviously heard of "Only Fools and Horses" - Del boy Trotter and Rodney - but I've never actually watched it.
Not sure why...just one of those things.....

Actually, elle, I watched the first episode and decided that I didn't like it (not unassociated with the fact that we were living next door to Peckham at the time). I never watched it again, but some threads have crept into everyday usage.

(In general, I can't stand "comedy of embarrassment", as I might term it.)

I liked it, but I think it was because of Trigger.
I can relate to Trigger!

So who or what was "Trigger"?
The only Trigger" I have ever heard about was Roy Roger's horse!

He was an old codger, elle - I can't think what rusty means about "relating to him" :)

Rusty, did you look at the link I sent you on post 5299 about the London Walks?
It does work, I've just tried it!

Hello, Elle,
No, I have been trying to solve a mystery here.
My car alarm is sounding every now and then and I do not know why.
Something is triggering it. Wondered if it was a moth or something like that, but cannot see anything.
Been OK the last two hours though.
Will leave the London walks for the moment.

Hello, Elle,
The programme was quite popular.
Trigger was a dim-witted street sweeper in it.
An unconscious comedian. Made me chuckle!
Unfortunately the actor who played Trigger died two years ago.
I am very fussy what I watch on TV.
When my granddaughters were younger, we watched "Two of a Kind", with MaryKate and Ashley Olsen(twins).
It was on the Pop Girl channel!
Was the highlight of my week!
