Have fun! Start a thread with Seanery's Most Excellent Adventure to post pics and keep us all posted.
Try the food. It is part of the culture and richness you are about to experience. Avoid the chain restaurants if you want to experience anything of the real culture. As for dairy-free dairy and spray on butter, I am American, I have traveled extensively. I did not know these existed. I hardly find that an indictment of American food. Real Monterey Jack cheese from Monterey California is quite good. Ranch is better as a dipping sauce than a salad dressing... As for the description of what the UK means, I agree, that is accurate. But, at least half of Northern Ireland doesn't refer to itself as part of the UK. I am speaking here on behalf of "Irish Bob" who was one of my students and is standing in my office. He says "Fook you, ya wanker!" His words, literally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

As a Scotsman I get frustrated with the seemingly constant confusion between the UK, Britain and England and the way they seem to be interchangeable. Seanery said he was visiting the UK, and several responses (not all) referred to England and the English, so I was making a subtle point that the UK is not just England. Does he still think I'm a wanker? |

I personally agree that much of the world has no clue what the difference between the UK and England is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
