What a good idea, Michael. I've been to England a number of times and have yet to visit all of the museums. The last museum I saw was the Charles Dickens House Museum in London. It was fabulous!

Jorvik centre is great! went the other week!  the only thing wrong with it is its a LONG queue to get in , but your not actually in there for to long, but saying that its good!

Went to the york Dungeons too, thats good but could be better, i know they have to get people round quickly because of the huge demand to go, but it felt a little sheep like, been herded round! and i think most people liked the 'acting' people making you jump telling the stories, but i would have prefered to look at the exhibits more, and let my imagination do the scaring!!
