Are you planning on going to the IWM Manchester? 

I never been there and I'm wondering if anyone here has been and what sort of impression(s) they got from the place?
That part of the trip is mainly for my brother in law, he's not been to UK before so we are showing him some of the sights. We used to live in that area until moving to the US 20 years ago, at that time I worked at Manchester International Airport. We will mostly be concentrating on North Wales and the Lake District, and a trip over to York.

I lived in Rome for a few years, Westminster is over rated.   :devil

Rome is alright if you want graffiti and bone idlesness, and beggers taxing you for coin.

And the hundred of fedal dogs in the coloseum :)

Take a phrase book in London by the way :rofl

Tell her about Duxfort Castle, Lady Di's favourite place to spend her holidays.
Oft course, nobody will be more surprised than you when you find out that the castle had been razed to make room for a collection of old planes...

If you ever run for elected office, I'm moving to Germany.

Genius!!  :aok

Generally speaking, unless you are talking about a foreigner taking some sort of immigration admissions test, the Brits and Yanks don’t kare about spelling.
