So far a great museum. Haven't been here for years.

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra m�r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

I'm envious. That is a place I truly want to visit.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Been there 3 times already. Never gets old. Do they still have the "Blitz/Trench experience" thing going? Edit: LOL, just noticed that Marko asked the same thing.

Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

What a great day. Didn't see the Blitz trench. But they did create a large WW1 exhibit. With a very small reconstruction of a trench. I also bumped into these two great chaps.  Loved talking to those fellas and we had a good laugh together. Much respect SD

Not a clue... Right Handed Royal Museum guards?

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

More commonly known as the 'Chelsea Pensioners'. Grand old warriors enjoying a well-deserved retirement in comradely conditions. Don't suppose there are many WW2 veterans left there now. As regards IWM, daughter no.2 is starting her medical studies at King's College, which is a stone's throw from the museum, so I will probably be visiting her more often than she would wish for!
