British Airways conducted a survey recently to discover the top 30 bucket-list landmarks and destinations. We came across it on Her.ie and were chatting about it on the Early Breakfast this morning. While there are some great locations on BA's list (scroll down), we reckon the EB listeners have a more interesting bucket-list.
