Talking Off To Blighty Friday Evening......YIPPEEEEEE!

Hi all,

Mrs Express and I are leaving for Blighty, tomorrow night, on board an American Airlines 777, from O'Hare to Heathrow. Will be there until the 30th

Booked a Renault Scenic rental car, from Avis online, and saved $200

Will give a full report, upon my return.

Right now though, I'm as happy as a dog with two weiners and street-full of fire hydrants

Jim.

The wife and I want to go over so bad but one look at the exchange rate helps control the urge.

In Northamptonshire? Never!

Keira, were you there in February 1991 when the big snow storm hit? I was living in Kingsthorpe Village and commuting to Corby (let's face it, no-one wants to actually live in Corby ). I got as far as opposite Nene College before my car froze. I waited two days for the AA to rescue my car. I did, however, tell them not to make me a priority as I was safe and warm at a friend's house.

Hi Maz

I'm trying to remember the weather that year. That was the year I met my hubbie - so I must have spent too much time doing "other things" to notice the harsh weather...
