Yay! Got one at last.
I've been to the top of Lochnagar a few times. Once, we shared round a box of black magic chocolates which seemed an unusual thing to have on the top of a mountain. (Usually its cheese and pickle rolls or malt loaf).

What about Electric Brae near Maybole (Ayrshire?)

Went to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa but the whole place was shut. Sounds like I didn't miss much going by the above postings. (Sorry Lenny).

Got frightened by the witch in Wookie Hole. (I was only little!)

Wasn't impressed by Wookey hole. No Wookies. smiley - sadface

Went past Mona Lisa more or less without stopping as there was such a crowd and there are so many more interesting things to see in the Louvre.

Just Bob aka Robert Thompson, plugging my film blog cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk

I've been to Iron Bridge, now protected by a horrible, rough, black coating. It was quite a nice day, though. Half the class ended up sitting on the shore of the river in the shadow of the bridge.

How about the cloakroom, Manchester Academy?
