    I can't believe that you used one of those pedi contraptions. I am glad that you weren't ripped off. They are notorious for sky-high charges. You looked as if you enjoyed it.

      Ron Seymour….Thank you much for the view and comments! The PediBike was interesting. The gentlemen peddling was honest. Glad you enjoyed our video! We should have another London video posted this week. Thank you so much! We appreciate YOU!

    'Pub' short for 'public house'. 'Public' from the Latin 'publicus' meaning open to the people.
    Glad to see you enjoying your trip.

      Got it! We knew “Pub” had a meaning. Public House. We loved going to the Pubs.

    Ah yes, Bonfire night. The time of the year where blowing up copious quantities of fireworks and gunpowder, and setting huge fires, Celebrates the failure of a plot that was going to blow up copious quantities of gunpowder and set a fire, along with politicians and the King. It's kind of how 4th of July celebrations go for your independence, by staging what is essentially a huge artillery barrage.
    I'm glad you got into the War Rooms, not many venture down there, which is a shame, as quite a few of your countrymen were involved in the Battle of Britain which ostensibly resulted in the counter-offensive in Europe 4 years later! Proper James Bond-esque stuff!

    Hi there’s also a great bunker up here in Liverpool called Western Approaches , used during the war so many ships lost because of U-boats Britain would have been on the verge of starvation the battle of the Atlantic was just as strategically important to Britains survival , Liverpool because of its docks got absolutely battered by Germany I think just on 3000 died from raids in the Liverpool area , but they kept the docks working some how , nice vid 👍

      @@AnitaandALAdventures Always a big deal here for like 400 years, though I think in recent years the dangers of fireworks and noise has soured a lot of people on it. Lots of tv shows and documentaries on all about The Gunpowder Plot and Guy Fawkes which Bonfire Night is based around

      @@AnitaandALAdventures Essentially foreign branch of company makes 10 units profit. Foreign parent company then charges them 0.999% for using the branding/website use etc. No tax due as they barely made a profit, as they just went under the threshold, probably taking any tax relief in the process. Legal? Yes. Moral? That is left for the reader. "Horrible" EU laws damaging US companies may make more sense now.

      Paul Horgan Thank you so much for those kind words. We are Americans. What us Americans call the Greatest Generation played an important role in winning WWII but you Brits are to be commended as much! You guys “held the line” against the enemy! Visiting the Churchill War Rooms was a thrill. I am ready to post our video on the Cliffs of Dover which also played an important role for the morale to British troops as they were evacuated from Dunkirk. Once again thank you!!
