I've never really fancied a holiday in Scotland but this trip has made me a bit more enthusiastic - especially the islands.

Tell me about it. I wish now that I had made the effort to look around when I had the chance.

Well when you pop back for a visit you'll be more focussed. I live in London and people assume that I must have seen all the sights. Errr, no. You tell yoursefl that you'll do something (e.g the National Portrait gallery) next weekend. Because it's always there you take it for granted and that is natural.

I lived there for years and did nowt, am now taking a leaf out of MalP's book and doing some sights, you'll have to join us.

Have you escaped yet?

Escaped, as i was working from home I embarked downstairs to make myself a relaxing voddy and tonic and then someone decided they wanted a meeting postmortem

Luckily I have crap reception where I live

Aye. Mal's been to Wales though - radical!

I used to go past the Tower of London every day but only went into it for the first time just before I left because Mrs Gonzo's parents were visiting (you can't leave them in there any more unfortunately )

Art is not really my thing, I never went into the Tate Modern despite going past that every day too, I never went into the National Portrait gallery either.

There is only one painting that I would like to have seen with my own eyes and that is Munch's The Scream. Unfortunately when I visited Oslo one of the versions had been stolen and the other was not on display at that time. I should have insisted really, it was the only reason that I went in to the National Gallery.

I walked past the Tate Modern every day too, but was never tempted to go in. I'd like to to the Globe (and you can get tickets from a fiver upwards so expense is not an excuse). I suppose leaving London will spur us into action.

I've been to the tate modern and, well, *sigh* not impressed.

Preferred the national gallery and the tate itself for summat with more substance.

worked with a clientco who had lots of contemporary art in house, needless to say wasn't impressed.

Tracy Emin stick drawings, wow Damien Hurst tracings with glitter, ooooh , Gavin Turk's blue pretentious plaque, YAWN and loads of other pointless crap, that I'm sure some idiot paid thousands for, and WHY????

I think the only piece of work that had any impact was a Gilbert and George, and that was fun and stood out.

Give me some impressionist, some blake, some renaissance and I'm happy
