United Kingdom - September 2006

I'm going over to the UK to study (college) and I'm very nervous. I'm friendly and intelligent and open minded, but I'm afraid that once someone hears my accent or figures out that I'm American, that I'll have to deal with lots of animosity.

Be completely and totally honest, in the UK, just how bad is anti-Americanism? I don't mean hating the government (I hate our gov't too)...do British people generally hate normal American citizens?

I am a regular user of the Northern Line and recently the service has been nothing short of appalling - signal failures, broken trains, staff shortages - we've heard the lot!

I have written on numerous occassions to TFL demanding answers but all I get is the usual lame excuses of the lines are old and the signals are worn out etc.

We pay some of the highest ticket prices of any country in the world so why is it that depsite all the publicity of supposed billions being invested, the service is still generally awful.

Thoughts please.

I'm in the Royal Navy, and spend a considerable amount of time at HMS RALEIGH in Torpoint. I don't drive down there (from London) as Her Majesty pays my train fare. When we get time off, I'd like to get down to Looe and Polperro (and anywhere else nearby readers can recommend) as I just love Cornwall (I'm from New Zealand). The problem is the buses, and transport generally. There appears to be about one bus a day going to L and P. And one coming back. Any suggestions on how to get around while there? Taxis cost a fortune. Is transport really that bad in beloved Kernow?
