I'd hang out with you and Circus if I went to England. I'd let you pick up the tab when we go out to eat too  :teddyr:

Oh, that's kind of you.
We'll go to McDonalds, then.  :cheers:
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

My advice for anyone visiting England: avoid the spotted dick.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

No, you should avoid the English.

So far I've only been to the London environs, and that was when I was in early high school.  A good trip, but a bit wasted on me then.  London is interesting to see, but hardly a way to see the real face of Britain I'd suppose -- much as if someone were to come to the States and judge me by how he was treated in NY.  :/

Even in the Old Smoke, though, I found the English to be friendly to us, and I had a good visit.  Plus, got to remember that us yanks don't have any cities that were founded by Romans...  When I go back I'll get all around Britain and into the country, and that'll be fun.  =)  My brother went to Ireland and Scotland when he last traveled, and he had a blast.  (and a few drinks too.)   :cheers:

Relative exchange rates aside, I plan to spend the same in pounds as you do in dollars for anything "normal" she'd want.  A candy bar you'd pay a dollar for, you'd pay a pound for.  more expensive stuff gets wierd with VAT.

You'll pay about 55p for a candy bar actually.
That was just as an example.  Thanks for clarification
