    tabber come and have a look I dont know anyone who has visted that has said they didnt like it

    I love England, it's so pretty, especially the North. The winter is awful, but summer is nice. It abounds in history. Wherever you go, you'll find that something historical has happened in that place. Anyway, I like history.

    Go and take a look yourself. Seeing is believing. Its a sad fact that many of your fellow countrymen who visit the United Kingdom only see London and thats it. They don't know what they're missing, and after all, Great Britain is a fitting name. Come over sometime!

    west couldnt put it better thanks xxx

    I have as a Aussie probably seen more of England than most English people and I love it to pieces.


    Why? Well I have just returned from my third visit in six years and the beauty of the countryside has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.


    The glorious Cotswolds. the rolling hills of Sussex and Wessex. The wonderful Lakes District in the north. The moors of Yorkshire, the ragged cliffs and stormy seas, yes all this plus lots of friendly people.


    Don`t go to the cities , get out and see the real England. Have a meal in a pub with a thatched roof that has been standing since the 13hundreds. There is history around every corner, churches and graveyads hundreds of years old. Slate mines, grand heritage homes and so much that I have only scratched the surface.


    If you have never been in a English local pub you have not lived.


    Australia is my homeland and I am proud it is but I am proud of my English and Scottish heritage

    Peoplelover - thank you for your answer beginning to feel we do not count - also how beutiful is Scotland - shame about the weather - it has the same rock formation as Scandanavia, Sweden is called the Venice of the North. I did comment on your comment about my thinking Australia was just jungle - as I have said certainly not cannot find this now - and thanks for your telling me about the Kaola having a rib cage - I did really think they did not have one thought they were squeegy - lovely - yes I have been told here how dopey I am a few times - my fault.

    Dopey, I love Scotland have been right up to John O`Groats, boat trip on Loch Nest, threw pebbles into Loch Lomond. My ancestry on the Scottish side were part of the Robinson Clan and we wear the Robinson Tartan,
    Highlands are amazing.

    dopey dont feel left out My Father was Scotish he was from Darvel Aye do you know it!!xxxx

    Never been their , but i'd love to some day, especially the countryside castles, the people and of course the pubs..

    When i was last in the U.K. i visted my sister in law in Malton a little township in Yorkshire. i went to the local pub and they allowed me to pour pints for the locals all night and giving me free beers it was great. i was a little apprehensive about going to England, as in Australia when i was young the english immigrants would call us colonials and other names but when i got to England their hospitality was outsranding. the highlight for me besides London's tourist spots was going to Liverpool. the birth place of the Beatles, visitng the New Cavern as the original burnt down and of course the Beatle's  Museum, if only i was 40 years younger i think iwould have a ball in London, they have so much going for the younger generation. YES -  i love England.

    My paternal ancestors are there.
