Those amphibious tour vehicles have been greeted with harsh public
opposition in a lot of places where they have been tried, such as in
Hawaii. How are they doing in London? Have there been outcries from
the locals or from the government?

Plans continue for the jaunt in London at the beginning of May. I would
quite like to go on a London Ducktour. What that, I hear you cry. It's an
80 minute tour around central London that takes in the usual hotspots
like Parliament Square and Buckingham Palace, and then plunges *into* the
Thames and motors down river a while....

Cost is �17 per adult (�11/child) but I've always fancied a go as I see
them out and about when I'm in town. Pick up and set down is very near
the London Eye, so I was thinking about 3pm ish. They run every 30
minutes, but need booking at least 24 hours before. If you're coming to
the LONDON PDML and fancy a ride, let me know and I'll book around May
1st. I'll appeal again in a few weeks.

Tally ho!
PS - Bonus points if you know what DUKW stands for without looking it up.
