well thats me home, got the overnight bus and arrived back in glasgow at 6.30 ........ still cant believe it i have my visa, well not in hand but hopefully soon.



just thought id share some stuff with you lot still going to london..... on oxford st there is a very fancy loo, its called WC1 just passed bond st underground. for £1 you can go in and freshen up, have a wash and use their smelly stuff. for£5 you can get a mini make over or a hand massage.... just the thing to ease the tension dont know if u guys can get in, but i dont see why not. give it a try, its great. A couple of doors down there is a place that does passport fotos, to the exact requirements for the US embassy. I forgot to take mine wacko.gif wacko.gif and went in there very nice and it only took minutes Price £10. 95 for 2.

when i came out of embassy i came back down duke st, there is nice pub on the corner cant remember name whistling.gif whistling.gif where i treated myself to lunch and a glass of wine good.gif good.gif great club sandwich so give it a go.....

Great tips, Agnes! I saw those posh loos while we were on the bus to the Embassy and wondered what they were like... Now I know!

I've been to that pub too, ages and ages ago, and for the life of me I can't remember what it's called either. blush.gif Congrats again. good.gif

is it the Camel -- formerly known as Liquid Blue? I'm trying to google pubs on Duke Street and that's what I'm getting so far....

I can't vouch for Agnes, but I know it definitely wasn't the Camel -- been there a few times in the past. Liquid Blue? What an awful name! No wonder they changed it...not that the Camel is that great....
