so what your telling me is that they all do drive around small cars, drink tea, have an alcohol problem, and think they still rule the world. Thanks for clarifying that ;)

The main meal of most UK residents is FISH and CHIPS!!! THEY only eat it on NEWSPAPER and absolutely DROWN IT IN MALT VINEGAR ( I know I sure do, at LONG JOHN SILVERS!) But I rarely go there. It is way too pricey!!! Around $7 for a Fish & Chip meal!

They have medication for that.

That's the good news. The bad news is, it only come in suppositories.

England/Britain/London:

This place was the ultimate best vacation (holiday for the uncleansed) that we ever embarked on. The people were the more than friendly/helpful. The food was great. The weather was not foggy or rainy, chilly but none of the previous mentioned conditions. My son and I went into a local pub for a beer, the locals were watching NASCAR, the other TV's were showing a cricket match (which we were watching). The barkeep asked us for our order, we asked him to explain cricket to us. As he handed us our beers, he said he would explain cricket to us if we explained NASCAR to them. I never could figure out how he thought we weren't locals. I would go back there in a heart beat.

Blackpool Manchester and Liverpool would be on my list too. Blackpool for the British version of Coney Island, Manchester to visit the family and Liverpool to renew my Scouse creds. ;)

The "Bobbies" all have cars and most of the kids are gaunt and hollow-eyed from being indoors all the time, playing on their computers and other gadgets. But there again, am I being cynical?

I think many people are pleased you bother to get around a bit and meet the natives rather than hiding away on a bus tour with an annoying guide person. We always get about in the US but never mistaken for locals

I just thought, can you imagine the reaction if I posted URL this on the "Z"? Probably some flaming from a red-neck neo-nazi?

What is there to explain about NASCAR? It's just "Go real fast, then turn left."
