Nuttin' But Pimp

I went shopping at Honest Ed's a few days back. Honest Ed's is a large discount store here in Toronto, no scratch that it is a shopping mecca known by virtually all Torontonians as a place to snag some great bargains.

The place is filled to capacity with all sorts of items from clothes to housewares, and some rather bizarre stuff too! Visiting is always an adventure.

The really neat thing about the place is how it is decorated with photos from various eras of the store itself, and numerous celebrities like a whos-who of Hollywood's A-List that have either visited through the years or knew Ed Mirvish because of his amazing contributions to theatre in this city.

Honest Ed's is a must-see for shoppers visiting this city in my own opinion.

Ed Mirvish passed away this past July 11th, and it was with some sense of sadness that I visited his store ... I used to shop there as a small child with my grandmother who has also passed on.. but I felt a sense of comfort as well in knowing that it will be around for generations of Torontonians yet to come.

Thanks Ed!

Cheers!

To say I am an Anglophile is an understatement! I LOVE everything British, and especially London! London RAWKS, and if you have never been to this world-class city what are you waiting for!

Firstly lets talk shopping. London is famous for it's fabulous markets like Portobello, Covent Garden, Camden, Brick Lane, Bermondsey and others , and naturally there is always Harrods to visit.

The theatre experience in London is also fabulous! Complete schedules for Victoria Palace Theatre, Adelphi Theatre, and Theatre Royal to name just a few are all available online.

This city is hot for its historical sites, and museums, and did I forget to mention the London Eye!!!!

It's easy to book Cheap Hotels in London both year round, and last minute through CheaperThanHotels.co.uk, and they are an excellent resource for travellers to this FAB city!

If you are looking to stay in a London burb, no problem. You can find listings for all the suburbs of London including Cheap Camden Hotels many which offer free extras!

Now I did say in the title that the subject of this entry was travel to Britain, which obviously is far greater than just London alone. Again no worries because this company can hook you up with the best deals on destinations around the United Kingdom. Have a look at this listing of Accommodations in Edinburgh, and check out the price points on some of the best places to stay in Scotland.

If you are planning on a visit to the UK either on business or for pleasure I do recommend you have a look at CheaperThanHotels.co.uk, and save yourself some cash that could be better spent elsewhere -> like on shopping!

Happy Travels!
