The Queen's Guards

I was at a meeting at the Royal Thames Yacht Club and in the middle of our discussions, someone said "Stop! Look out the window!"

Our heads all turned to look out the window to see a squadron of horses marching down the street!

Polite Sign

I found this sign in Winchester.

I wonder if they give out "Polite Parking Tickets" too.

I also wonder if they apologize when they put the boot on your car or tow it away.

London Silver Vaults

The London Silver Vaults opened in 1876 on Chancery Lane.

The underground vaults were originally used by the wealthy to store their valuable household silver, jewelry and documents when they left London in the hot summer to vacation in the cooler countryside. (HOT summer!?!?!?)
