Well, London for starters, then visit Lake District + Scotland.
Tbh, the real attraction of the UK is the countryside, not the cities.

Theres a lot of things foreigners find intriguing even things like the beetles, etc.
I'd use better English than the title of this thread.
... would you visit the UK?
Completely random question, but one that has just entered my mind after speaking to a few online friends. None of them have any intention of visiting, as they see no point visiting here... to quote one of them 'the thought never entered my mind'.
Is there anything that makes the UK unique? I know we have London, which is a major financial hub and capital, but if I was visiting a capital or a major city, I'd pick plenty of other places over it e.g. Paris.
I suppose we also have some nice countryside, but again, it doesn't seem to be unique. Maybe it's just because we are a relatively small country with a reputation for bad weather. I don't know.
What do you guys think?

Then FFS. In September last year I was in Glasgow! Friends suggested that we ate a meal at the local carvery. All you can eat (vomit) for a fiver.
Which was a dicotamy to the week before when I had stayed with a friend of mine in France who has a 105 acre mansion and we ate fais grais and fine cheeses and drink fine wines.
**big long rant**
Even the train comparison is comparing first class in Europe to normal here.
That's true, but I suspect that German first class is still a cut above British first class. Can anyone with experience of first class rail in the UK help us out here?
His entire post is beyond words, he compares going to a £5 all you can eat carvery with eating at a mansion, I was going to post some arguments but the post is just at such a stupid level I couldn't be bothered.

I think he was also on about the price, 70 quid does seem an awful lot for a 2nd class single way 150 mile trip. He paid far less relatively per mile for a 1st class ticket on the continent. Hence comparing the 2, he got less in the UK for far more. I think I got a return ticket from A'dam to London with Easyjet for 130€ by plane, 70 quid for a 150 mile trip in a train sounds like a rip-off.
But then again I was born in Preston!
