The only caution I have for anyone with mobility problems is that
London is a very old city and some of the conveniences we take for
granted now with handicapped access are still lacking. OTOH, the
London Taxis were inexpensive and very roomy. We took both of
Mrs. Nonny's scooters along, since Bill was a bit weak and could
use a scooter for getting around both in London and the Baltic
cruise. Erm and I discovered immediately that we could squeeze
TWO scooters and the four of us into one of the London Taxis
without any hassles, giving us a lot of range for low expenditure.
All we had to do was lift Mrs. Nonny onto the roof of the London
Taxi and secure her there with Scotch Tape. Bill went into the
"boot," and Erm and I rode like kings. Seriously, the 4 of
us and 2 scooters did share a single taxi on a number of occasions
and there were jump seats for two, plus room for the scooters

Americans worry whether the rest of the world
considers us dumb, so we go to the polls and
remove all doubt.
