United Kingdom - December 2007

I am visiting the UK in June and I want to visit other places besides London. What other picturesque, British towns and cities do you all recommend? Some people have told me not to bother with Manchester or Liverpool. What do you all think and should I rent a car to get around the country or do you recommend the train? Thanx.

PS - the US Dollar is pitiful right now so any recommendations on cutting costs will help too : )

Just been to do some early shopping at Asda. Did you know that you cannot purchase alcohol before 8am. Didn't see any signs up about it. You can pick it up and carry it to checkout, but they won't let you pay for it.

In the Amy Winehouse song "You Know I'm No Good" she uses a couple of terms with which I am unfamiliar.

What does "Hand me your STELLA" mean?

What are "CHIPS and BITTER"?

Thanks a lot!

I have never seen the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), except through pictures. I would love to see one and would like to know where and when is the best time to catch one live. I live in the UK, so the nearest (and cheapest) option for me is Scotland.

As a car driver in London I will admit I lose my temper with other road users and would like to see a certain group banned from the roads forever.

If given the choice who would go in your opinion:
1) Buses
2) Cyclists
3) Taxi cab

I have not included cars as without them there would be no roads, just the cobbled streets of late victorian London and no-one wants those.

In the US, many classic neckties designs are derived from ties which in Britain represent military regiments, prep schools, colleges, professional organizations, and social clubs. In the US, with the exception of Ivy League ties, this is a relatively unknown phenomenon.

But when an American visits the UK, should they refrain from wearing neckwear which might have such symbolism, lest they be deemed a poseur and a fraud? Will they be viewed with suspicions wearing a tie with such meanings? (I haven't been to England since I started wearing neckties regularly, so it hasn't been an issue.)

(Increase your chances of best Answer if you can answer the similar question for plaids based on Tartans worn by people who don't belong to the clan it represents.)
