On Monday I didn't have that much to do, so I had a bit of a site seeing drive through central London on the way between drops. If you ever go to London, especially the centre, keep a look out for blue plaques up on some of the buildings. They are basically just marking where famous people used to live. The odd one that I found the other day was between Claridges ( hotel and home to Gordon Ramsey's restaurant )and Bond Street. One building had a plaque on it saying that Handel had lived and died there in 1758, and directly next door, there was a plaque saying Jimi Hendrix live there from 1968 - 1969.
It thought it was quite funny, 2 different musicians from 2 different eras and genres living next door to one another. As I say, if you go up to London,look up and check the bulidings, you never know what you might find out.

That is quite an odd thing!! I remember Michael Palin doing a programme going round all the old Monty Python spots and putting blue plaques where they had done certain sketches etc.........
