If the roads are still to salty to take your LBC out, here's an 
off-driving season activity to fill some time. Take a virtual trip to 
England via Google Streets. I spent time last night looking up LBC 
related sites of interest using Google Streets. It's interesting see 
some of the sites I've only read about. For a first search, try this location.

240-244 Torquay Road, Paignton, TQ3 2HB, United Kingdom - 01803 522 828

The buildings are so close to the streets in England that you can see 
right into the stores. Take a look at the cars in the windows at 
Modern Motoring and see if you can identify them all. I found a few 
bakerys on Fore Street in Redruth that looked good too!! I hope to 
find the church that has the stained glass window that is a tribute 
to Donald Healey. May go for a virtual visit to 
WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com's home too! LOL.

Until I can actually take a trip to England, Google will have to do.
