WORKING FOR A NUCLEAR FREE CITY's Friend Space (Top 23)
I want to see the Tower of London, and go up into the tower. Do they let people up there? You know Richard the III tortured people in that tower, so it's probably haunted. He was really completely insane. Must've been the inbreeding that did it.
Hi - Thanks for the add. Someday I want to come to England and see all of the historic landmarks. Also, I love your Queen Elizabeth. I want to stand in line so that I can kiss her hand. Does she let commoners touch her? I wouldn't want to upset her. God, if someone didn't throw their jacket over a mud puddle for her she would probably have a heart attack.
