London
not seen either, but I'll see York first
Windsor
Westminster (marginally)
Scotland
Selfridges (on my current salary anyway)
Blenheim (seen too much of Buckingham)
Peak district
Cumbria
National Gallery
no preference
William will be the better King
can't say
Blair is the better public speaker but if I could, I'd vote for Bush

I'll Bite....
Paris or London? I live in london - so Paris
York or Bath? York, much less touristy
Windsor Castle or Warwick Castle? Windsor - this really is a no contest
Westminster Abbey or St.Pauls Cathedral? St Pauls for the crypt alone
Scotland or Ireland? Scotland - Ireland is a themepark
Harrods or Selfridges? Selfridges, as they have a tattoo parlour
Oxford or Cambridge? Cambridge (another no contest)
Buckingham Palace or Blenheim Palace? Blenheim, you can see all of it, you only see a tiny bit of Buck House
Cotswolds or Peak District? Peak District - less twee
Cornwall or Cumbria? cornwall, after the public school holidays have finished
Tate Modern or National Gallery; National has everything; Tate is a more selective collection
Lincoln or Chester? Lincoln, chester is full of mickey mousers
Prince Charles or Prince William? As Prince William used to drink in my local I would have to plump for him (he's very tall)
Science Museum or Natural History Museum? Science has buttons to push. BEAT THAT!
Bush or Blair? Thatcher
Paris or London? I live in london - so Paris
York or Bath? York, much less touristy

London -- I can read the signs
York -- The Minster never ceases to delight
Windsor -- To see how the other half lives
St. Paul's -- The music is better
Ireland -- We may be able to sponge off relatives there
Harrods -- I can't stay out of the Christmas shop
Cambridge -- We studied there
Buckingham Palace -- See Windsor Castle
Cotswolds -- Castle Coombe
Cornwall -- Love the Palm trees
William -- He might be capable of learning
As a leader? As a mate? As a target in a pie throwing contest?
