+Beach_hut Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Why thank you. Let's play a game of "what am I?" I'm a four-legged animal. I have a unique feature in that when I walk, the two legs on the left hand side of my body move in unison, then my right. (If you think about how a human walks, when you put one foot forward, the opposite hand moves in unison. This one and only animal walks differently.) What am I? Quote Link to comment

+TheOldfields Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 You're right about Mayfair, but £1800 is still a bit high for Park Lane. Quote Link to comment
