I. Islington for reasons I cannot tell to two ladies.
Was in Harrogate ten years ago, blooming freezing in January. Nice place though and went by train through to York which I thought was really great. Ordered a pie in a pub in the centre and was presented with one that could have fed an army. Ha Ha.
Loved the market there.

As a parent, I can't think of anything worse than having to walk 3days to get treatment for a sick child! (as happens all the time in many third world countries).

R Royal Family - the first thing I am always asked when I go to the USA is 'how is your Queen' - the American's are so so jealous of our Royal family I think it's worth keeping them just for that!
T Tea - definitely an English thing
