It was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, around 1450 BC. In 1819, Muhammad Ali Pasha gave Britain the obelisk as a gift. However, Britain's prime minister at the time, Lord Liverpool, hesitated on having it brought to the country due to shipping expenses.[2] It remained in Alexandria until October 1877 when its transport to London was funded by William James Erasmus Wilson. the plaque is explaining the bomb damage.
Bottom two.

Oh no I used to live with a Victor man and my friend calls her husband one, if I ever met what I thought was my soul mate I would only live with him if was a big enough house to have my own very big space to escape to 🤯😁me and mam get on lot better now not living together I don't think id ever live with anyone again infact I don't even think I'll ever get a date with anyone never mind anything else lol 😁
Hey and I bet that bazzaks a right grumpy old Victor meldrew first thing on a morning too 🤔well he is getting on a bit 😁hope he's not peeping he will plot some pay back for me for saying that 🤯I best watch myself 🙄😁
No I hadn't. But I find that it often locks if I'm using pm a lot. Btw you must try Leonidas chocolates- although they are very rich, and even I can't eat more than one at a time . Well maybe 2 max😁😘
Yes.We had a fantastic one in Hertfordbut sadly it closed many years ago. It used to sell all those lovely individual chocolate Xmas decorations - I think they came from Germany. When I was a kid there used to be a tiny sweet shop on the way to school - it was actually the hallway of the owner's house.Loads those sweets which were so many for 1d. Happy days!
You can buy them loose if you want to try a couple. They are quite expensive but much better than Hotel Chocolat. The centres are quite light but rich. The white chocolate coffee ones are lovely if you like really sweet stuff. I always used to get mum a box whenever I visited her😘😘
The only ones I've seen are obviously in London.- Oxford St seems to have loads. We get the chain of shops called Mr Simms Which tries to be like the traditional old sweet shop. It's ok.
I don't like either of them !!!Can't stand dark chocolate. I don't drink much these days anyway. Although I do like the occasional amaretto. And Pimm's.And when I'm on holiday in Italy I love Aperol spritz. Not that I'll be going there again for a while. And it doesn't taste the same here😁🐰
Yes I clicked channel over and couldn't believe it if known was going to be good match idav watched more my mind wanders tho can't sit through full match lol pixie is downstairs he likes to watch it he watches the ball i think are you ok 🤗xx
