Thanks Mary Ann! Yes, Donna it certainly will. I have a friend who lives in Yorkshire (northern England) who is going down to London with some friends to join the crowd. |

What the heck is the London Eye? I was there for a total of 14 months and missed out on something so cool-sounding as the London Eye? Spectacular photo, Scott! |

The London Eye was part of the Christmas Eve storyline in 2001, when Jim Branning proposed to Dot Cotton. Edited by Velvet, Apr 21 2011, 10:29 PM.

It was one of those rare episodes shot out of Walford. It was really modern how they had the oldest couple in that fancy contraption-kinda unexpected for those 2. |

Wow! Now I know what the London Eye is (next time I go to Ol' Blighty ... I'm gonna get on that thing!) and thanks for posting that vid, Velvet! I do have a hazy recollection of seeing that scene and prolly did think to myself 'where is that?' but just priceless to see that again and make the connection. Gosh, I just love you folks.

My cousin Mo's all right but my cousin Zoë, wait till you get a load of her." Ruby: Do you ever say anything nice about anyone?" | |
