I walked back through Grosovenor Square, a small and surprisingly tasteful garden that, due to it's proximity to the American Embassy, has American memorials in it. Taking pride of place is a statue of Franklin D. Roosevelt (not to be confused with Franklin W. Dixon), my favourite American president of all time. Which got me thinking, who is your favourite American president of all time and why? And also, can you name the only four surnames that have been shared by more than one president? And also, can you name all of the Hardy Boys books in which they dealt with smugglers and buried treasure?

There are 5 surnames that have been shared by more than one president: Roosevelt, Adams, Bush, Harrison, Johnson. Sorry! I remember loving the square outside the American Embassy when I went to London. I do want to move to America to work in the White House though! FDR was a good president but I have to say I'm quite a fan of Clinton because, aside from having an affair or maybe a few, he did a lot for the country! I'm loving reading all the stories of London tourism by the way - especially the Japanese man trying to eat his camera.
Have fun!
