Tappers2oz Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 1. Eat fish and chips on a seaside pier 6. Go up in the London Eye 21. See a traditional Xmas panto 22. Watch a British player at Wimbledon 37. A selfie at John O'Groats and Land's End (done Lands End?) 40. See Tower Bridge raised 47. Watch a boxset of Only Fools and Horses 48. Witness Oxford/Cambridge boat race 50. Watch London Marathon live Done those (if you count 'watching live' and 'witnessing' things as on the tv). Most of the others I wouldn't even think to put on a bucket list, and most of the above wouldn't be but I just happen to have done them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
