Top tips threads
Can someone help me out? I am sure there have been top tips threads on:
what to do when you get there
what to do before you go
what to include in your hand luggage etc
but I can't find them. Does anyone have the links? (I will save them as favourities this time).
Thanks

Avoid buying expensive binoculars by simply moving closer to the object you want to see.

Fool UK police officers into thinking you are using a mobile phone whilst driving .. by holding your TV remote control to your ear, shouting loudly to yourself and mounting the kerb occasionally

Make people think you've invested in a new pair of expensive, shiny, patent leather shoes...by delicately covering your previously worn and outdated ones in sellotape

Re: Top tips threads
Impress your neighbours by standing at the end of your garden late at night, holding a metal coat hanger in one hand, pointing to the moon with the other hand, and making ridiculous high-pitched bleeping noises
They *really* will think you can communicate with beings from outer-space
(disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that carrying out the above actions will not result in a short to mid-term break in Broadmoor)
