Have you been to Canterbury? That's one impressive Cathedral. And the town around it is absolutely charming.

BTW, I thought the New-Yorkers are quite proud of their skyscrapers?

S- Famous for its tales, I presume? :-))

S- Why, do you think, am I that eager to visit the UK once again?! For London's sake, sure- but I'd love to see much more than London alone. Ireland, Scotland (highlands included)- you name it. Why not Canterbury, then? :-)

BTW, I thought the New-Yorkers are quite proud of their skyscrapers?

Actually, they are quite wise to appreciate what they have, but

Hardly the case with all those auld buildings :-)

Among other things, yes. :-)

"he was so voracious that he would gladly devour even his own remnants!"

Well, it isn't very appetising. :-) But it's sharp.
