  1. The Savoy is a hoity-toity place, right? Need a bucketful of buckaroos to stay there, right? Or pounds...or gold...

    Count Peter I know from nothing. Most counts I do know don't count for much!

    A lovely photo. Elicits all kinds of silliness... ;-)

  2. Another place I recognise :-)

    Here's a little titbit for you: The road leading off the Strand to the Savoy entrance is the only road in England where cars are required to drive on the right hand side!

  3. @ Jacob - Of Count Peter I know about the same of you...
    @ Tinsie - I've heard of that, but I thought it was an urban legend!
