The weather is a constant source of complaint by UK residents and perhaps this explains why so many of us take our holidays abroad. However, for those of us that have to put up with a caravan in Bognor what is it that we have to look forward to?

Is it the chip vans along the pier or the kiss me quick hats of Blackpool that leave lasting impressions for our foreign visitors?. Is Britain up to expectations or do our visitors leave thinking what a degenerate and seedy place the UK has become?

What do people think of the British? How do they find the local communities and people that they meet as they travel around the UK? What horror stories can they tell of poor quality hotels and bad cuisine and would they visit us again?

Hotels, Guest Houses and Restaurants

Every country has its fair share of 'Fawlty Towers' Hotels and most people have experienced accommodation that is just not up to an acceptable standard. What is the worst that you have come across here in the UK. Name and shame the places that you dislike the most.

Flying the Flag

What is the funniest thing that you have encountered whilst on holiday? If you have any good stories about holidays in Great Britain please let us know.

Have you emigrated and would you come back? What do you miss most about the UK? What do you dislike the most about the UK?

Have you got any funny photos or interesting facts about the UK that you could tell us about? Perhaps someone streaking across a sports field or a hilarious sign that amused you...

How good are the British Tourism Offices and have they let you down or have you been treated badly as a visitor to the UK?
