"London Bridge was sold to Missourian oil magnate Robert McCulloch in 1968 at a cost of US$2.46million (£1.63million), and shipped piece by piece over the ocean. The bridge is now the star attraction at Lake Havasu City, where it sits in retirement by the lake of the same name, alongside a cluster of ‘Tudor-themed’ shops and restaurants.
However, controversy has long been attached to the purchase of London Bridge, with popular legend suggesting that Mr McCulloch had intended to buy Tower Bridge rather than its flatter, more mundane colleague – and had confused the two structures."
Played in a football match at 10,500ft in the Hindu Kush Pakistan. It was a small village with no road leading to it, in fact the nearest roadhead was two days walk away. The only flat ground around served as the football pitch, but where the centre circle would be there was a huge rock about ten foot high. We had to play around that. I was with two friends from the UK, we played on the same side and whenever any of us touched the ball we got a huge cheer from the watching and bemused villagers. I seem to remember our side won 10-5, it certainly was a (breathless at that altitude) weird but memorable experience.
Blue Monday is one of the very few tunes that literally stopped me dead in my tracks when I first heard it. I was just about to get out of my car when it came on the radio, I had to just sit there and listen to the full track mesmerised.
The Lake District is well worth a visit paticularly if you decide to do some walking. A day rider bus ticket is cheap and will cover most of the area. Don't bother with Stonehenge though, it regularly appears in the world's most disappointing tourist places to visit lists.
