Did you know?

London Bridge which had been bought by an American from the City of London for £1.78m, was disassembled then rebuilt in the small town of Lake Havasu in 1971. Robert McCulloch, chairman of the McCulloch Oil Corporation and business associate C.V. Wood had concluded that London Bridge was exactly the kind of thing that Lake Havasu needed to make it an attractive resort city and a tourist destination. The gamble paid off and land sales in Lake Havasu City soared. From a population of just a few hundred in the 1960s, the town blossomed to 10,000 by 1974. That year, the bridge drew almost two million visitors to the new city.

Weather:

Some early sunshine before cloud thickens through the morning, bringing the odd shower. Cloud then breaking in places during the afternoon, with some brighter spells developing, but also further heavy, and perhaps thundery showers. Feeling cool in the brisk breeze. Maximum Temperature 13c, loss of 4c.

Quote of the day:

The thing I'd really like to see is the old London Bridge, with all the old buildings around it like Shakespeare's Globe. I'd like to walk along that. Don't worry, I won't get drunk and fall in.
