Sometimes I love London

[Frood42]

You might imagine I was hysterical with laughter when making the choice 2 weeks ago whether to leave one of my animals (pets) to starve to death over the next 3 months, or get it euthanised at that point....we chose the latter.
Be careful what you share because there are some real peanuts on here who will find some sort of twisted pleasure from the suffering of others.....

Sorry to hear that, it is not nice, I remember when they had to kill/burn a whole load of livestock around my area of Suffolk, it was not nice for the local farmers, not nice at all.

He chose that particular picture of a dead horse and made inference of my home town specifically to bait me because I discussed the death of one of my horses on here a couple of weeks ago. She wasn't livestock raised for the table like any of the animals which farmers keep, she was a pet.
CoG really isn't a very nice person...his actions demonstrate that.

Ah, it is never nice or easy to lose a pet, or to have to make that choice.
My mother and sister love their dogs, and it is never nice when they have had to choose in the past to put them down.

The sign says the Wellington but I can't remember the Wellington having tables outside. Also the view across the road doesn't look right.

There might have been a castle next door for all you knew.

[QUOTE 2791812, member: 1314"]It's The Wellington. And they have tables outside. That big building, on the left across the road, is the Tax building or something. I don't like the pub as it's too touristy. I was there just to meet an ex workmate for a quick couple on the way home.[/quote]
Still struggling even with the lack of a castle. Across the road from the Wellington is Waterloo station and across the other road (and very close cos it's a narrow road) is the 3i building. None of your picture looks like that.

Agree.
One of my regular haunts... it's not the Wellington in Waterloo that I know. They don't have tables and chairs out on the pavement. I think it's the Wellington on the Strand.

The only time I've cycled in London was on a Boris Bike a few months back.

I went from St.Pancras to Baker St. I don't know if it was the clunky bike, the busy roads or a combination of both, but I don't care too much for cycling in London.

Yup, sum up the whole of London in a mile and a half why dont'chya?

 

[martint235]

[QUOTE 2791857, member: 1314"]Yes. That's what I meant.

I should have posted:

"Waterloo Bridge. North side. The Strand."[/quote]
Oh. Didn't realise there was a Wellington on t'other side. Only one I've been in is the Lyceum.

I'm just sharing my experience.
