scooby dooby doo Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm a bit further west than that. Going Eastwards from Blackfriars you get a BIG tunnel thing, then a concrete footbridge, then a building that has a hole in it for the road - ie a VERY short tunnel, then a white metal footbridge, then I'm in the glass building next to the River, then there's Sothwark bridge, the VW dealer, another tunnel thing and then you pass just south of monument. Please test me a few minutes before you come past 07970 221 068 HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby dooby doo Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Luckily for you my camera is still getting mended (it slipped out my hand a few weeks ago and when i caught it in the other hand I managed to knock the lens skew).

greenpeace Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 db said I'm going to complain to GreenPeace. They promised me some global warming by 2004 That will be the summer of 2004! Once we get all the snow and ice out of the way there should be a long and dry blatting summer.
