so you can pay the highest fuel prices in europe and help ease Mr Browns cash shortfall , sit and watch the rain come down every day , get ripped off to go into any tourist attractions, pay a fortune to park your car then return to it and find its either been broken into by some smackhead or been clamped and its a

Come on fellas be positive. Get away from the motorways and the Red Kens of this country and you know that we have a wonderful and varied countryside. I know that certain areas are very popular and therefore crowded but it is still easy to get away into peaceful and beautiful scenery.
And why not start the day with a full English breakfast?

Because your doctor will tell you that it's full of cholesterol, preservatives, too much fat, not enough vitamins, and anyway the sausages are probably made of all the bits of reconstituted rubbish which are no longer going into school meals.Come on fellas be positive.

But who cares when you're on holiday. Just keep taking the tablets!!!!Because your doctor will tell you that it's full of cholesterol, preservatives, too much fat, not enough vitamins, and anyway the sausages are probably made of all the bits of reconstituted rubbish which are no longer going into school meals.
If this government get back in it will be with a reduced majority. We shall then have 4/5 more years of hell, but they will then be ousted, provided you all stay here to help to do it!!!If this government get in again at this election for us it will not be a case of Why Britain it will be Bye Britain!!With caravan in tow!!

Margaret Beckett, as a caravaner, do you read this forum and in particular, are you reading this thread?
I'm not convinced that this forum is the place for this debate, but it has certainly flushed the Daily Mail readers out of their bunker! Forgive me if I am heading in the opposite direction to the rest of you on the day after the election (whatever direction it may be), but you see, my memory is still good enough for me to have a clear recollection of the bad old days. I remember, with painful clarity, the day in 1991 when we were forced to sell the caravan that we had worked and saved to buy, simply to keep a roof over our heads and the children fed, after redundancy and six miserable months of unemployment. I remember also, that it was not until 1997 (what happened then, I wonder?), that we felt sufficiently economically stable to buy another one.If this government get back in it will be with a reduced majority.

I, for one, know when I am well off, and I am not about to vote all that away.
Leave it until after the beginning of May, when all the grumpies have left the country in disgust, then you can come and enjoy the superb scenery, the interesting towns and small (cathedral)
cities,or some of the music or literary festivals, according to your taste. You could even visit some of the major museums and galleries, to which admission is now free in many cases.
No one comes to Britian for the weather, but that is not to say you will necessarily have rain - it is just a gamble. Personally, for my main holiday, when it is important to me to have sunshine, I go to France, or Spain, or Italy, but for shorter breaks, say of a week or even ten days, I am happy to stay in the UK, or go to somewhere such as Holland or Belgium, (even Germany), where the weather may not be reliable, but there is lots to see and do.

ask the Dutch they seem to come over in droves.
if you are coming from Germany you will probably coming over to drink the water that gave us the courage to tackle WWII.
if you are French you will find that decent food is in abundance and in many cases not spoiled by the "sauces" used to disguise raw meat.
coming from Italy they will no doubt buy up scottish woollens to keep the cold out while they are here.

The Dutch come here in droves and go to the Lake district to experience hill starts. To be serious though - after tasting machine dispensed coffee in a small petrol station in a small village in Holland that REALLY tasted of coffee they certainly do not come here for that. And have you tried the food and snacks available in French motorway service areas? One I visited last year even had friut trees growing around the picnic area - if you could jump high enough it was pick-your-own dessert. No wonder we clear off to the Continent.
no other european country has the variety that we have in such a small area eg. terrain, culture, dialects, building materials, food and, whether we like it or not, the weather (scuse the pun)
Some people like a cooler damper enviroment.

Jon,
I could not agree with you more. Welcome to rip off Britain.I too am clearing off to France. Open roads, OK tolls but not the rip off prices we get on the M6. Commercial vehicle rates and we are not even allowed by our caravan insurance to use for commerical gain. Fuel, well I am fed up off being ripped off by goverment and petrol sites who here that prices on crude are going up by 50 cents a barrel and increase their price by 50p a gallon.
Welcome to rip off Britain. Think we need another Fuel blockade, lets see if the goverment will do anything prior to a election.God help the tax payer( or should I say the poor devil who cannot save any brass because of such high rates of tax and everything that stops use having a reasonable exsistance without giving it to the state) RIP OFF BRITAIN.

Hi Barry,Our Whisky is cheaper than yours
O.K I am sat here with a very good malt with a crack of water in it, please tell me where I can buy it cheaper.

Positives: fish and chips plus almost any international cuisine, beautiful scenery, rabies free, wonderful cities tolook around.
Negatives: that's down to you!
Just do what you want and have a good time wherever you are!

I suggest you do not pay too much attention to the some of the responses to your query. It seems some British people have a tendency to exaggerate the downside of our countries. There are many positives to Britain which make it well worth a visit - the historical sites, the university towns and cities, London, Edinburgh and of course the wonderful countryside in many areas. Visit the right areas and you will not be disappointed. Good luck.
The best beer, yes best, in the world and I don't care what the Belgiums, Germans or Czechs think of their brews. You can't better a pint of Wadsworth 6X, Jennings Bitter, Theakstons bitter - need I go on. Come on over folks and enjoy but please don't drink & drive!
France - you never see as much here as you see in supermarkets there.Hi Barry,

On the other hand French supermarkets don't stoch mant different types of Cognac (Brandy).
