I figured out how Trump decided on the capacity of the new White House ballroom (999). There are 902 billionaires in the US (Forbes).

His companion said, "See how heavy it is," and handed me the outfit on its hanger. Unhh! Several pounds of real gold! Look up Lord Lyon of Scotland.

Got a picture of this guy after the service. Then I saw him and another guy getting into a car in the parking lot. Can I ask what the outfit is for? He was getting out of it and joked about being in his undershirt. I'm the Lord Lyon.

Went to the cathedral for the 11am service to hear the organ. Turned out this is Battle of Britain Day. Full of bigwigs and people in uniform. The usher took us to the only spot with room for the scooter - at the front between ranks of cadets.

Our rooms in Salisbury at the Merchant's House and in London at the Tavistock Hotel were tiny and quaint. Our room at the CitizenM in Glasgow is huge and ultra modern. Everything is controlled by this iPad, even the window shades.

First thing we encountered on exiting the train station was the taxi queue. Path of least resistance. London cabs are huge cars. Most have a wheelchair ramp. So Ann drove her scooter right into the cab. Had a very nice Chinese driver named Wing.

Needed to get from Waterloo in south London to our hotel in North London. Underground doesn't do scooters. Heard a lot of bad things about London cabs and crabby drivers. So we were planning on Uber or a bus.

When we arrived at Heathrow we took an Uber to Woking to get the train to Salisbury. The elevators were out of order at the Woking station so we couldn't get the scooter to the right platform for the Salisbury train. They diverted the train to a different track so we could board it!
