wanderer1984 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 When I go abroad I want to experience something different from here in UK. The weather, food, drink, cultures, landscapes etc. But most importantly to me is meeting the people from that country. Makes me think why the fuck do tourists come to UK. I get going to see the London Landmarks etc but that's it. Why would anyone fly to see any other UK city? Weather is shite. Food is mostly shite and a ripoff. The good food, if you can find some isn't British and the general public are cunts. Why would anyone spend their hard earned cash on a trip here and the return saying they had a good time. Bet most can't wait to get home. (My opinion ... don't ask me to prove it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Manchester pisses all over Berlin. Belfast pisses all over Hamburg. The Lake District is absolutely stunning and up there with the best scenery in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it’s hit and miss with the weather but there’s plenty to do and see. Best country in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer1984 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 I do love the lakes. My favourite holiday destination in UK. Growing up I used to go every May holiday camping. Great Langdale, two pubs and surrounded by the Mountains. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cultured ones might do Stratford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens but once a year but I'm right with you on this. Imagine thinking this country offers nothing in terms of culture and history. Methinks he's either on a wind up or completely ignorant.

York, teeming, Canterbury is only second to Venice in terms of tourists per resident head each summer. Cambridge same, Oxford as well. Edinburgh, Hadrians Wall, the Cotswolds, the Lakes, Highlands....could go on and on and on and on...

wanderer1984 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 For all you folk that don't see. If you had say 3 grand to spend on a holiday. You're telling me you'd spend it on some caravan or shit hotel somewhere in UK with overpriced shitty food and pissing down rain. Coming all this way to see stonehenge or eating fish and chips on Blackpool prom. Nothing wrong with the above but surely they must think wtf.
