i second that
London is amazing though...
(Amazingly wet, most days )

Trust me, unless you like History and rain, don't go. It is possibly the most wet and boring place to go. England is full of Chavs and a lot of criminals. However we do have a lot of horses and the shopping is pretty good

Really depends on where you go.

Yer but that's just Essex though
lol

It isn't full of chavs and criminals everywere... in alot of places there are but in countryside were the nice views are. Going to London is good though the london eye is brilliant

Horses...wow...And I love history...I must consider making a visit...anyone have room? XD

I did say it depends on where you go, sunshine Haha.

In scotland it is bitterly cold somedays and the next days are schorchers. A lot of livestock and animals!!!!Wouldn't change it for the world!

Yorkshire, England has some beautiful places to go.If you like the countryside, The Yorkshire Dales are gorgeous! But if you like shopping you need to visit Leeds

Shona.

it depends where you go but as other people have said before it rains a lot and its cold. The shopping is ok in london. i personally don't like living here

scotland is one of the most beautiful places to live. I hate the weather but adds to the charm and u get used 2 it. The coastline is stunning and the people ( except a minority!) are welcoming and friendly.

England. It's brilliant haha of course I am biased.

Very beautiful, but yes, a lot of chavs

I'm a country girl so i rarely visit anywhere big though i do go to birmingham occasionly. yes it can be wet and cold but who here experienced the 2003 heatwave? even the wasps were exhausted. countryside is incredible, especially in scotland and wales. i would be biased 'coz i've only ever been to holland, france and the isle of wight. so yeah. i love Britain.

p.s) if you ever drop into the midlands, go to the crick boat show. people come for miles and my little village turns into a huge traffic jam. it's quicker to walk!

Maybe if I ever do I'll have to drop by. lol

its only on for 1 weekend a year.

(this weekend)

I would reccomend going to the south of Ireland, it's really nice, especially in Navan! It's definately a place to go if you ever get the chance! ;P

My Mother was Scot, so I plan to visit there someday. Still have family there.

But I gotta ask, what's a chav?

i think a chav is someone who wears baggy tracksuit trousers, white trainers and lots of chunky gold jewellry. not sure though.

A chav is the term used to describe the stereotype of a certain person. For example, they'd generally be into rap or hip hop music, wear tracksuits and white trainers, cover themselves in gold jewelery and say made up words like "Innit" or "Braap" which no one else has any idea what they're talking about. Further into it, it is this stereotype people often accuse of being violent, alcoholic and have the highest rates of teen pregnancy

But it is just that, a stereotype like 'emo' or 'goth' is.

I live in Cornwall, its stunning down here, but I lived in Hastings for 8 years and originally come from Kent, all 3 have their good sides.
