    • Miscellaneous: If you're coming from the US, film is much more expensive in the UK than USA. I'm a disposable camera type so I buy enough cameras (pre-VT, usually 1) to bring with me. I'm not a huge believer in travel size toiletries, I just buy the local stuff when I get there. And because of that habit, I found my all-time favorite shampoo in the UK, Timotei. Of course, now I love the stuff and can't get in the USA so I stock up during every trip. I would only suggest bringing items that you truly don't want to substitute-anything else can be purchased there and makes the trip a bit more interesting. Also, don't stress about a cell phone. British Telecom sells phone cards in many denominations that makes calling home very easy and inexpensive.

     Glad to see someone took the time to see some of the hidden treasures of my home land. Nice pictures. I agree about the rental car even though it is horrifying to drive on those tiny roads. I recommned an automatic rather than stick shift for non-natives.    		scottishvisitor Tue May 3, 2005 16:19 UTC
     A nice mix on this page - a heat wave in the Uk doesn't come along often

     I'm Scottish and have no problem with being called British. Scots are proud of being British. Other than that, excellent guide to the UK.    		tpal Thu Jan 20, 2005 14:50 UTC
     Hi Sue, Great tour. When I visited England I sort of limited myself to London, York and Edinburgh. I think I missed a lot by not getting out into the countryside. Guess I'll just have do it all over again ;-) ...Tom
