London The Greatest City on the Planet

[TreatyStones]

Heading over with the family this coming weekend.

Will try to hit all the usual sites.
It’s Chinese New Year as well, so supposedly a massive parade on Sunday morning.

You should pick up some of these from Chinatown Bakery, supposed to be good luck for the new year.

What a fuckin city to be fair. You’d never get to the bottom of it.

Have you done the Imperial War Museum? I’ve been meaning to do it for years.

[Declan_Moffat]

Imperial war museum is great. I want to do the history museum next time I’m down.

No heading to the British Museum this morning. Daughter is keen to see the Egyptian stuff

They had to give all that back.
The War Museum is the berries.

It’s brilliant. Much better than the Churchill War Rooms

There’s a grand Pizza Express on Coptic Street just across the road from the museum if the youngster likes pizza.

I looked like some roaster trying to pay for a wand and other over priced merch in Harry Potter Studios with a ball of crumpled up paper notes I’d had stashed away since Cheltenham 2016.

"I’m sorry sir, we can’t accept those "

“What ya mean?”

“They haven’t been legal tender for 2 years”

I got caught out with obsolete pound coins in Newmarket a couple of years ago.

Ok, maybe not all. But a lot of the good valuable stuff is gone back. So if you wanted to see something specific you’d want to be checking first.

Some of the collections that tour around the world are great. But you’d need to get your timing right and have your research done.

To be fair @Mac is no better.

Everything in blighty is paid for by card now.I was in Manchester a while back and took out £100 in cash in the airport in case I needed it and brought most of it home with me.I had to spend it in Belleek.

crumpled up paper notes

I’ll take them off you, no worries

[TreatyStones]

To be fair a kindly caribbean lady took pity on me in a dodgy looking post office on Edgware road and said she’d change them to new money for me in exchange for a 5 star google review. She said by rights I had to go to the Bank of England with them.

Ethnic restaurants and corners shops love cash

Are Wembley markets still going on a Sunday morning
