(Even more egregious is, of course, Queen Vic blocking the otherwise panoramic sight of Buck House). Let them have their statues - but please have due regard to their placement.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-21339465296162401472014-11-19T22:22:11.610+00:002014-11-19T22:22:11.610+00:00Hi Susie, I think they wouldnt be gold some one wo...Hi Susie, I think they wouldnt be gold some one would steal them.

"AGAIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!!!!, AGGGGAAAAAIIIINNNNN". beating their little fists on the floor if the video finished. That and the little mermaid and beauty and the beast. Sigh. it was exhausting as a 12 year old to have them throwing fits all the time. I love a good carry on film. <br /><br />John, I sat on the steps and had my picture taken. Some of the bit where they go into the bank I feel is echoed in Gringotts from the Harry Potter film. dont you think?<br /><br />Chickpea, it is a stunning building. we dont build anything beautiful now. just all glass and flash. it isnt my favourite when it is like that.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-45275453372345513702014-11-19T11:45:01.064+00:002014-11-19T11:45:01.064+00:00I haven't been there for ages, beautiful build...I haven't been there for ages, beautiful building, thanks for the photos.
