There was a time we got a lower exchange rate in England.  95p to our £1

Suddenly independence from the sassenachs doesn't look so attractive

Keith if you are in Prague do not miss the Ungelt Club.  Fabulous place and the resident group are wonderful.

I wander what would happen in the case of independence, the main reason at present that no one likes the Scottish currency is that its not exactly legal tender, so a hassle to change it.

I am back now thanks Jacqui  

Being a good photographer seems to come easily in Prague  





We climbed from the old town to the castle (pictured) two days running, and it wasn't easy. On the second occasion we decided to climb the bell tower of the cathedral - so at the highest point of Prague we climbed to it's highest point. I felt like Delboy, I thought I was going to have a 'Connery'!

Views are absolutely amazing up there:

Snap - my photo from the same spot 9 weeks earlier, when I also suffered a near 'Connery' going up all those steps ... spooky

[Scunner]

Wow that is pretty spooky indeed [] I think you chose a better time of day for the sun though  

I think there is a definite failing in the human brain that is exposed here. We can make calculations in split seconds without even knowing it, and do so hundreds of times every day. But the human mind cannot begin to calculate when inside a structure, how many spiral staircase steps more it might be before you reach the top of a tower of known height. You just keep going until there are no more steps above you

That's an amazing coincidence. The 2 photos are almost identical. Prague is a lovely city. Only been once, but will definatly go back again.

I found that the escalators in the Prague metro messed with my mind. They are unfeasibly steep and if you are going down the people going up look as though the are falling over backwards; when you are going up they look as though they are all about to fall on their noses. I couldn't shake this illusion in the week I was there.
