(Been to London, once, about 23 years ago. Way before they had that big ferris wheel! Lots to see there! You can see even more with these day trips. Stratford Upon Avon, Stonehenge, Bath, Cambridge, etc., etc. Got hit by a car in Bath. Well, my hand did. Cracked my camera, too. Would love to go back, some day. Food was rather basic, but not bad. The beer was great! Good cartoon, Jeff. Is that David and a friend? Clue words weren’t new, but they were all jumbled well. I didn’t find any of them too challenging. The answer letter layout was only fair. Coulda been better. That’s it. Be well and do good, dear friends.) — YUR
