On the downside, trains in the UK are not exactly what you would expect in a first-world nation. They are about as bad as in the US.... Oh, and while planning for your trip, do also look at cruises around the Mediterranean -- I've had friends and family go on some of them, and they can be a seriously tempting way to see Europe.

Indeed. Some friends of ours take cruises at least once a year; they're a great source of tips. Also, if you go off-season and do not insist on the Queen's Deluxe Suite, US-UK cruises are relatively inexpensive. Last I check, one could book a simple room for 1300$ US. That's quite reasonable since in includes transport (obviously), room and board. -- Olrik aa #1981 EAC Chief Food Inspector, Bacon Division

The latest, I believe, involves the Norovirus which caused the toilet system on board to fail.... That said, I do think that taking a ship would be a lovely start to a brilliant trip. And if you keep a close eye on prices, you should be ale to snag a special deal that would see you travel in the style and comfort you desire and deserve at affordable prices. The market is so competitive these days that smaller ships have been forced to offer huge discounts just to fill up the berths.

For your return from Edinburgh, I can recommend the sleeper train to
London. Unlike American Pullman cars (now extinct), the beds are
oriented athwart, so the natural side-to-side railroad sway does not
threaten to pitch you sideways into the aisle, but is rather soothing.
Best night's sleep in motion I've ever had.
You pull into London at 7:00 a.m. and have an hour to dress, etc. and
leave your compartment. Very civilized.

I can recommend your kindness, Mr S, in this; we have very fond
memories and hope to come back.

We are always ready to sample the native food. In the East End is
this not fish and chips?

True traditional East End food would be pie & mash, jellied eels, cockles and winkles. NB, Those last two are shellfish, not euphemisms. In earlier times, oysters were the food of the poor. There are still a traditional few pie & mash shops around, but they aren't very popular nowadays. Fish and chip establishments tend to be 'take aways', but I do know of one good sit-down fish and chip restaurant. -- Smiler, The godless one. aa #2279 Gods are all tailored to order.
