I am a huge Anglophile! I have wanted to visit England, since I was a child. I want to see all the places I have read about; London, Yorkshire, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon, Nottinghamshire, etc. My fear is that I will be disappointed. I have this image of England from novels and history books. What will I find in England? How should I go about planning the best trip? Please suggest hostels, bed and breakfasts, and tours. Thank you!
I will be in England for 3 weeks.
I plan on visiting England during the summer and traveling by train.

usagiluv asked:

This is about living/moving to England from America. I’m wanting to move to England in 4-5 years when I save up enough money. I will be a licensed optician my honey a linguist.

1.Where’s an inexpensive area recommended to live?

2. Are taxes really THAT bad? (someone told me they’re 50% of your paycheck?)

3. Is gettting a job really difficult, with no schooling but certifications experience?

4.Is Adapting to metric system difficult?

5.Is it difficult making friends?

6. Is it better to visit England job hunt, than to do it via America over the net?

7. How difficult is it to get a work permit? (Is it true it must be a job that a EU citizen can’t fill?)

8. Is it better to get a EU citizen to vouch/help me get a job there?
Also, the main reason I want to move is because I was born in England, but on a military base so I never got the choice to become a citizen. I want that for my children I want them to be more cultured.

maiamin1 asked:

How many people come to the UK capital on holiday – and what percentage of each nationality are they?
Just because the figure is in the millions Brian C doesn’t mean it’s impossible to answer. Nor is it impossible to calculate nationality percentages!

*If you visited England on a Visa, would health care still be free despite the fact that you don’t pay taxes?

Abby asked:

Also, are there orthodontists over there? I know that you don’t think of teeth as something cosmetic, so you don’t emphisis on their perfection like America does. However, do you still have them for people with teeth that are extremely bad?

Also, would a UK size 8 be considered Small, Medium, or Large? Is there a certain size that men prefer in England? (Like how the American media likes size US 0, but the men usually prefer US 6-14.)

And I’m not knocking you for bad teeth with the orthodontist question, you should see mine! (Despite that I have braces.)
Thanks! =]
Also, is there a lot of crime in London, or is it the same for any major city?

What place in England is the best to keep distance from drunks?

Holidays down Memory Lane!

Have we forgotten the ancient art of holidaying at home? Suddenly we are in a predicament where we find that taking a holiday at home is the sensible thing to do. People are talking about walking down memory lane and see their summer holiday as holding many a forgotten treasure. But have we forgotten how to best holiday at home?

When you go abroad we know that we will need travel insurance and that medical cover is essential too. Why should it be any different at home? We will still need travel insurance, car insurance, in some cases, medical insurance and of course possessions insurance.

According to the article “Top tips for this years UK holidaymakers!” there is currently a trend in the holiday market of British people booking their holidays at home rather than abroad. Thanks to the low pound and swine flu, for some reason, people are not too keen on holidaying abroad! But lets not be casual about the whole thing. If we choose to holiday to home, we need to think carefully and responsibly about our insurance cover.
