And, sadly, from 3 days' time now it will be a case of RIP With-It Tower Passport Renewal Experience.😢 Still working on the new place, though - but at the moment I can't get over The Shoppes at Belle Grand Rama 9 sounding rather like the name of a Shakespearian shopping centre located in Stratford upon Avon 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
