Yup, across the pond at the Natural Stone Show. Susan and I got here this AM after an Atlantic crossing red eye. Show opens tomorrow. does not look to be any type of "Stone Live" or educational stuff going on. Hmmm... Looks about the size of the 09 Stone Expo.

Be careful hot rodding there, they drive on the wrong side, ya' know. And be very careful crossing streets (it is easy to look the usual way and then go, not looking the proper direction & getting whacked by a bus
)

Shows in Europe are like Ground Hog Day. There'll be no hands on stuff over here; we're very secretive! Enjoy London though, as a Northerner I find it good in small doses ie two days.

Guess I had more fun in England than I thought I did. Left the show at noon on Thursday and took the tube into London. Next day we checked out and took the tube to the airport to pick up a rental, drove down to Bath. I ended up with a BMW MSport 120D oil burner with a 6 speed. Cool, lots of low torque and only 5 miles on it. Entry level Bimmer that will not come to the US.
More fun than I thought because today Avis had two letters in my mailbox. Seems they charged 2 photo radar tickets to my credit card. BLOODY EL!! 30 pounds each.

Hi Scruffy
Any idea of how fast you were going?
30 pounds is definitely less expensive than a race driving experience, plus you won't get any points on your license, or have to go to drivers school!

Steve:
That's just un-American.
I beat one of those tele-tickets several years ago. They photographed my car speeding, but my passport showed I was in Honduras at the time. That there violates one of the laws of thermodynamics I think, but I can't remember which one.
Slow down,
Joe
