2 Million pounds isn't a lot in my opinion. I spend that amount a month as my outgoings. I have to pay for my chauffeur, parties, legions of women, my tailor made suits (I have to wear a new suit everyday; I don't know why, I just can't bring myself to be in public unless I am wearing completely new clothes). I might get a couple of those apartments as my weekend retreats. Also, they could serve as housing for some of the women in my harem.

Less than two months I will be on holiday! My first trip to London, my first trip to England, and my first trip to Europe. I promise that I am not the ugly American tourist that most English people think of us. I am a polite, courteous, and quiet American. I can’t wait to visit your gorgeous country with visits to Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford upon Avon and Oxford!

Enchanting video , thanks dear Sinead . When the Pink Floyd album Animals was released in 1977, I thought then that the album cover was a product of the author's creative imagination. It was only a few years later that I found out that the object was real and existed in London.When I come to visit London at the end of this month, this Power Station will be on the priority list.

I've been up the top of tower bridge and the bottom wear the road goes in to it was very interesting I did that years ago

I’m pleased they kept the shell of the Battersea Powerstation. As a child in the 1950s I lived in Pimlico opposite that structure and my mother would take my brothers and I to Battersea Park. I was really disappointed in 2004, I was in the Uk at the same time as my mother. We walked from Churchill Gardens to Battersea Park. The huge mechanical clock that used to be there in the Gardens, they had finished dismantling and removing it about 2 days before we were there. Used to love that clock as a kid.😊
