Borough Market is my favourite, just lush!<br /><br />"Bob's yer Uncle, Fanny's yer Aunt" - just means done/finished but having had a google no one seems to know where it came from I suspect it's from an old film or Music Hall though as all my older relatives say it.<br /><br />"How's yer Father" is the rude one..<br /><br />Oddly I didn't think they were weird until I thought about it LOL!! ;)Local Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342839881399615844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-35521385909380776592009-04-21T23:06:00.000-04:002009-04-21T23:06:00.000-04:00FUN!

The location is a little out of the way in terms of central london things but its right near a tube stop and has its central in terms of being in the south of the river neighborhood so plenty to keep you occupied there. I would recommend it if the price is right. London is pretty spread out so no matter where you stay you probably need to take the train a lot anyway.Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-14184213731073908262009-04-16T14:38:00.000-04:002009-04-16T14:38:00.000-04:00I'm glad the title doesn't mean anything dirty-- I...I'm glad the title doesn't mean anything dirty-- I actually have a great aunt Fanny and great uncle Bob.
