'The City' only refers to the main financial district (just as Wall Street wouldn't be the only proper district for New York City).
    That's the most common meaning of the City but another (the City of London) refers to the ancient core of London around which the Romans built a wall (giving rise in the present day to the road London Wall and places like Aldgate, Bishopsgate and Moorgate); with the "proper boundaries" of Londinium (a word beloved by SQfg ) being:

    The City of London together with the City of Westminster eventually grew and merged to become what we now know as (Greater) London.

    Apologies to DFP for going so OT...

                Wonderful TR DeltaFlyingProf! Brightened up my day actually. Looks like you've really enjoyed yourself!

                Are you spending any time in Singapore or is just Bangkok (just judging from the post you made saying you were in the TG lounge)?
                Such a way about you, My Singapore Girl. Wouldn't go away without you, My Singapore Girl.

                      Here they are, Mrs and Mr nickbot at the Intercontinental in Bangkok:

                      Splendid breakfast and view over the surrounding area.
                      I was very happy to see get together with them.

                        One additional note on the flight:
                        SQ LPP, you will be sad to learn that the hot towels were not hot at all!
                        The same was true for the SIN-BKK flight. I was reminded of that when I was brought a really hot towel on an LH flight after I took SQ.

                          Just a quick note, are you talking about the usual towel, or the towel that is placed on a holder and set together with the all table setting? The later would be cold. Hope you enjoy the expensive French butter.

                              Out of the three ICs we stayed in during the trip (HKG Grand Stanford, BKK and SIN), the IC BKK shone for us. The club lounge was excellent and as you say has a fabulous view We told them that you recommended it to us

                                Are you saying that the lounge has a dull color combination?
