I have never known anger like the kind I experience on the tube.

My biggest LU gripe is waiting in line to top up my Oyster card, waiting in a long queue for the machine which will accept cards, waiting for 15mins or so, and everyone in ahead of me is paying with coins which they could have used at any of the coin machines which have no queue. It is infuriating.

And when you're standing by a seat, the person gets up so it's available to you, but you can't sit until they get past you, and some little person just dashes in and steals it...

Please fellow Londoners, share your stories and let's all be angry together.

Does anyone know of a cheap (under 25 pounds) place to stay in either Watford or Huntingdon. As I will be getting about on foot I need to be as close as possible to the city centres. I have tried hostels but there aren't any in these towns.

I will be staying near Holborn and I will not go around too far. Should I still purchase a 2 or 3 day tube pass? How much does a single ticket cost normally?

....ok, here they are:

1) What part of England would you suggest for two 19 year old
American females and why do you suggest it please?

2) Is it very difficult for an American to get a job in England? I don't mean some fancy job, but like working in a shop or something...anything really (short of illegal of course).

3) Are there many cultural differences between (southern states)Americans and Brits?

I have been to three other countries (France, Switzerland, and Italy) but never to England and thats a place I've always wanted to go....so thank you for your help!

I won't need to buy my ticket for a few weeks. I'm only going to be in London for about 4-5 days as part of a vacation. I'm concerned that taking a discount flight with a carrier like Ryanair or Easyjet might waste a lot of time. I'd have to take a train to Beauvais airport from Paris, and then land in a smaller airport outside of London and spend a few hours getting to London. On top of that the time required to check baggage in, etc...
