The UK allows pigs blood as a substitute for real cacao ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Pigs blood? Are you kidding? Urban myth, but Cadbury's chocolate is not good, just like Hersheys, so eat the imported Swiss and German chocolates. No different than here. I work for an English company (after twenty years working for German and French companies), and spend a LOT of time over there. If you don't go only to pubs then food can be quite good. The English are going through a food revolution just like the better restaurants in the U.S., so unless you eat only at low-end places you'll be fine. Oh, but avoid the "traditional" English breakfast. Low-end places there, beware, just like low-end places here. As for advice, I'd say take plenty of clean underwear, an MP3 player of music you really like, and shoes with rubber soles. Everything else will take care of itself. |
