the first thing that comes to mind..is london fog.. and the beatles. the second is terrorist bombings.  then i think of the royal family and how much i admired princess dianna and now her two sons. i think of kippers and white wigs.  it is funny how much movies.. media etc have an effect on your opinion of things in life. it has never been at the top of my travel wish list. ..but i am sure the people would be nice.yet england does not  seem  to me to be a warm welcoming place.

There are many, many castles in England!\n\nSome small and some very large and famous!\n\nMy answer is to actually come over here to England and enjoy all the history we have!\n\nIf you own a castle here then you are a very lucky person, seems such a same that you do not know 100%.  A photo and description on the Internet is 'nothing' at all like actually experiencing what a castle is really like!\n\nCome on over and enjoy the English countryside, in my biased option England is the most beautiful country in the world during the summer!  \n\nThe only problem is that the English summer is so very short and arriving very soon!\n\nPack your bags and fly over before you miss the bliss of a historic English summer.

Speaking as an Englishman....\n\nAmericans visiting England CAN be stereotyped as noisy, brash and demanding. \nThat is not at all my experience of visiting Americans, who are generally courteous, considerate, and polite - unless of course they're here on a Preaching Mission. \n\nBecause of the media, most people in England believe that the US is all like New York or San Francisco. \n\nThis is about as accurate as imagining that all Englishmen wear a bowler hat. \nBowler hats are extinct outside of the ancient heart of the City of London, where they are increasingly rare. \n\nBecause so much English humour is based on irony, American humour often seems too obvious. (American soaps are predictable and formulaic.) \n\nIt can sometimes seem to an English person therefore that Americans are lacking in real humour.\nMisunderstandings are likely, where Americans think the English are bawdy or coarse, whilst the English think the Americans are being prissy. \nThis is a real cultural difference. \n\nOn the other hand, just about everyone in England loves The Simpsons, and most of the young want to go to New York. \n\nHowever, if your president is typical, it is evident that few Americans know much about the rest of the world. \n\nIf you think I'm wrong, try this: \nA while ago, I tried to name as many of the States as I could, and got 38. \nIf you're American, how many English counties can you name? \n\nBut maybe I should declare myself, and admit that although I've lived in Britain all my life, my grandfather was born in 1888 in a log cabin in Tawas, Michigan, built by his father. \n\nAnd maybe that's just typical of the way our histories are inextricably linked. \nAmericans and British are intrigued by one another. \nLong may that continue!

I have never attended an England game, probably because the tickets were out of my range.  However, I am a fan of the game particularly when England is playing.\nIt was always my belief, that if you attended games, you were a SUPPORTER (because you bought tickets) otherwise you were a FAN.  (No closet though)

my answer is none and none it might make an interesting change if anyone from even a different town came here. Why leave England to get away from foreign people ,surely other countries are full of them ? !!!

Let me declare an interest before I post my answer to your question. My grandmother, a young girl with eight sisters, were sent from Mayo by their family to the safety of England. They lived in a workhouse in Oldham, Lancashire. \nMy father was brought up catholic and became an altar boy. He married my mother, a protestant. My mum and dad were shunned by dad's side of the family until 12 years after teh wedding when, in 1958, I was born.\nMost of us in England only took an interest in Irish / Ulster affairs when the bombing and terror came to 'the mainland'. As a young child, accompanying my dad's family to the Irish Land League club in Oldham, i was accustomed to seeing the shamrock of Sinn Fein. It was an image that held no fear for me.\nTo me, one thing is clear. We stole Ireland from the Irish and we can never give it back. Our countries were different places at the time of partition. The time in which a United Ireland my have explored its new 'Irishness' has passed. The age has already dawned of 'the global village.' Where i live now, fellow mancunians oriniginate from Poland and eastern europe, from all points of Africa and Asia; from South America and Australasia. What was 'Englishness' has gone and some mourn; and with it the era in which a United irishness might have been explored and culivated.\nI love Ireland: i love its music and liteature, i love its people and its landscape. I am truly sorry, as a born and brought up Brit, for all that my mother country perpetrated upon my father's mother's country.\nI feel at home in Mayo, but i know it can never be my home. It is a comfort to know I can go there any time I like and have a beer or two at Molloy's.\nIreland, like England, belongs to the world now. It's yours, but it's mine, too.\n\nWith respect and warm regards\n\nScannan

No - but an ex of mine did!   He was going to Bristol and ended up in Birmingham! \n\nHe woke up to find his dad knocking on the train window as the train was pulling out of Bristol.   So, to be cool, he leapt to his feet, screamed 'DAAAAAD' at the top of his voice, then screamed to stop the train while trying to grab his bags.   He then went back to his seat, trying to look noncholant - not easy for him as he was 6'6" tall!\n\nWe got a phone call at about midnight saying he was stranded at New Street Station and could he possibly sleep at our house!\n\nDespite the fact that he was an ex (and I had not got over him) I agreed and my father went and picked him up!\n\nMy funny on a bus was going to an outdoor pop festival by bus cos there was a train strike.   We had been up very early to sort everything out.   I got on the bus and promptly went to sleep.   (we were in a double decker, at the front upstairs).   I woke up and asked the classic question: "are we nearly there yet?".   I had only been asleep for 20 minutes and we had not even reached the motorway!\n\nHope these stories help!
