Spring Flowers

by IreneMcKay

I am British but have not lived in the UK for the last 24 years. It is not my favourite country. There are people I miss, but not that many other things. However, one thing I do miss is spring and in particular spring flowers. My overall favourite are crowds of golden daffodils, at the risk of sounding a bit William Wordsworthish. On our Easter visit to the UK 2012 we were too late for snowdrops and crocuses, but perfectly timed for the daffs, tulips, bluebells, primroses, hyancinths and blossom. Not to mention fields of newborn lambs. Lovely.

History of the United Kingdom

by grayfo

The United Kingdom started to become a unified nation with the political union of the kingdoms of England (which already included Wales) and Scotland in 1707 in accordance with the Treaty of Union. The Union created the United Kingdom of Great Britain, which was ruled by a single monarch and parliament in London. In 1800 a further Act of Union saw the joining of the Kingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 and following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Ireland split from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to become the Irish Free State, a dominion of the British Empire but a day later, Northern Ireland split from the Free State and rejoined the United Kingdom. As a result, in 1927 the United Kingdom changed its formal title to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Mobile Phone International Roaming in London/EUR

by chopsy

Some Information on using an International Mobile Phone/SIM in London/Europe.You will need to be careful if you plan to use your home country mobile number/sim when travelling - International roaming charges can be ridiculously expensive! Additionally, you may have to pay a premium to receive calls as well as making calls.In the UK, many supermarkets sell Pay-As-You-Go SIM cards where you do not need to sign up for any long term contracts - you just buy the SIM card together with ~ £10 worth of Credit and you're ready to go. Tesco give you £10 extra free credit if you top up £10 so this may be a good bet. Tesco call charges are comparable to other PAYG plans. The good thing about buying from a supermarket is that you can top-up your credit in the supermarket which may be preferable to registering your credit card details, etc.These SIM cards will allow you to make and receive...

London

by traveldave

London was founded by the Romans in about 33 A.D. when they established a small port and trading community on the banks of the River Thames. They called their town Londinium, which was a Latinized version of the old Celtic name for the area.At the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, London was the largest city in England. Because of its importance as a trading center and its strategic location on the River Thames, the Normans made London their capital.Up until about 1666, London was confined to a relatively small area within walls. However, in that year, the Great Fire destroyed much of the walled city. As London was rebuilt, the walls were not rebuilt, and the city spread to the area that is now known as the City. By the eighteenth century, London enveloped surrounding settlements including Westminster, which was the political and religious center of England.In the eighteenth and...

Kindness of a Stranger

by Wowmoment

Nine of us were on a walking weekend in the English April drizzle. We decided it was time for a snack break and not wanting to eat in the rain we happened upon the porch of this delightful old English Country Church in Whatley, Somerset.Whilst we munching some of our very delicious cake a local lady came to arrange flowers in the church, but had forgotten her key. She was some time going back for it, but we were not in a hurry to walk on in the rain. When she returned she had brought us boiled water, tea, coffee, milk and mugs. "It was a bad day and we needed a hot drink".Such random acts of kindness are one of the great joys of travel. We will remember with great warmth Whatley Church porch on a cold rainy day.

Cyber cafes

by tvor

There are loads of cyber cafes all over the UK, especially in the larger cities and towns. They all vary in price but the cheapest and best ones are owned by EasyJet and are called EasyInternetCafe These ones are mainly in the larger cities. The stores are large and bright, with up to date high speed access and flat screen monitors. Prices vary depending on how busy the place is but you can also buy passes at some stores. The website doesn't seem to be exactly up to date. The link above doesn't have all the cafes listed for London that this page does but that page doesn't include a couple that the first link has. Probably best to check a local telephone directory when you get there.

Terry Wogan.

by mwe

Wogan is an Irish immigrant to the UK, but he is the best thing that ever happened to British radio in its 85-year history.His BBC radio career started in the late 1960s, but he came into public prominence in 1972 when he took over at breakfast time on the popular music network, Radio 2.Wogan was axed from Radio 2 in 1985, at a time of ageism in Radio.BBC radio bosses panicked in the mid-1980s, because some of the top DJs on youth-orientated Radio 1 were around 40 years of age & Radio 2 had some DJs around the 50 mark....The result was a huge clearout of talent from BBC Radios 1 & 2, replacing them with younger DJs, who 20 years later are still minor names & have been moved away from the primetime slots they were brought in to fill.The ex-BBC DJs lost their national exposure, but did wonders for commercial radio as they were snapped up by commercial stations: especially the big London...
