    Hi Masha, If you like walking, follow the South Bank of the Thames from Vauxhall Bridge to Tower Bridge. The route is about 6km and there are lots of photo-opportunities of some of London's most famous sites, and there are sometimes street entertainers and festivals, especially near Waterloo Bridge. About 3/4 of the way along the route, you will reach the Millennium Bridge, which crosses the Thames to St Paul's Cathedral and the City of London. Earlier replies mention the museums and galleries, which I would also recommend. I would also go along to the Wallace Collection, which is much underrated. You can find more details here: http://www.wallacecollection.org/ Personally, I wouldn't get too excited about shopping in Oxford Street. Too many crowds and not enough quality. If you do venture to that area, head to the Bond Street part of the Street, where you will find Selfridges (just voted the world's best department store), John Lewis and Debenhams. Better shops, including Harrod's, can be found in the Knightsbridge area. There is so much more I could write... Message me if you want to know more. Jamie

    Hi Linky, This is an idiom that means to flatter, but I don't believe it is used too frequently in modern-day English. Jamie

    I'm looking for some help with Polish... My office's cleaning agency has replaced our regular cleaner. The new cleaner is Polish and doesn't speak any English. As she comes into the office to do her work after everybody has left, we communicate using notes. Unfortunately, none of my colleagues know any Polish, so I'm looking for someone willing to insist with translating our notes and instructions. Any offers of assistance would be greatly appreciated.I clearly need to improve my own English. Instead of "....someone willing to insist...", I should have said "... someone willing to assist..." How embarrassing!

    No, Elizabeth, this isn't the correct use of the expression. "Cool as a cucumber" refers to an individual managing to keep calm under pressure. It's not an expression refering to "cool" as a measure of temperature.

    My memory of Aunt Sally is as a character from a children's TV show from around 30 years ago called "Worzel Gummidge". The title character was a scarecrow who came to life when adults weren't around. Aunt Sally was a shop mannequin who was the object of his affections.

    An apostrophe can denote either ownership or a contraction. An ownership example would be: My computer = Jamie's computer. A contraction example would be: My computer is not working = My computer isn't working. You should beware that in the English-speaking world, many people seem to think that the apostrophe is used to denote the plural, and examples of this can be seen on a daily basis. This is incorrect.

    There is a variety of answers. The precise answer depends on the context in which you saw or heard the abbreviation. Have a look here: http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/CVN By the way, an acronym is an abbreviation that forms a word, such as SCUBA or LASER. I think CVN is just an abbreviation.

    This means that life is fine or carefree. However, this can often be said in an ironic tone, meaning the complete opposite!
