Highway Robbery

I proffered a 20 pound note for two Diet Cokes and this cheese plate at Royal Albert Hall just now. That wasn't enough! I had to hand over an additional 40 pence. 

This is the worst value I have encountered on my trip. It's highway robbery.

What a day this has been.....

I blogged over on my genealogy blog about my activities until dinner time. It was a fabulous day.

On Sunday I mentioned to Mr Geniaus that I had never visited Royal Albert Hall; he agreed that it would be worth a visit so I had a look on their website to see if they ran any tours. Something else caught my eye, it was a notice of a concert tonight with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. As Mr Geniaus isn't too fond of classical music I thought the program of "Best of Broadway" would appeal to him. When he agreed to attend I didn't waste any time buying tickets.

Not only were we bowled over by the concert tonight but the atmosphere in this stunning building was electric. I took a couple of short videos to illustrate this but, as I am experiencing a few technical difficulties, I'll just post some happy snaps instead.
