No and no. Mrs Ex-Ascot disappeared for so long into here looking at all the memorabilia I thought that she had a problem. :-o

Which royal parked their @r$e on that throne? Oh! Didn't you mention something about a royal bog being specially flown out to some exotic location on another thread?

Correct, just down river from us but doubt if they have any water at the moment. Both camps mentioned in this:

Many thanks. Always wanted to go to Africa - maybe I'll make it one day!

Easy one 'cos I'm off to the pub later.

I would say a viewing platform. Probably over a large gorge. Don't think it is the Grand Canyon though.

Edit, Niagara Falls?

Edit again. Yep http://www.ontariopics.com/NiagaraFalls ... -4373.html

Sure wasn't there last time I visited.

Thank you Sisemen. I have been trying to find a photo of my own of this place but can't. So, this is off the WWW no cheating please. One of my regular haunts.

Did a jolly good fish and chips there.

Damn, too late on the Niagara Falls one. Saw the picture, recognised it instantly, which is a first for me.

Probably actually. Called eyesight. Never worn glasses apart from landing at night.

OK folks two gentlemen who spotted my huge gaff have kindly backed off. A very famous hotel.

It looks like Fairmont The Norfolk in Nairobi.

(but I have no idea why it is famous)

edit:

Looked the hotel up and now know why it is famous - "White Mischief" and all those goings on!
