As for the initial premise of this thread: I sometimes wonder if some people are visiting a different country to the one I visit every two years or so. We spent July 14-31 in Britain and loved it. Had no problems with customer service and pretty much everyone was a pleasure to deal with. As for the expense I don't agree with sweeping statements about extortionate prices in Britain. We found food in supermarkets to be good value and in outdoor shops they were practically giving stuff away (eg fleeces and rain jackets). Traffic was no problem at all and the weather was mostly helpful - out of two and a half weeks we only had two days in which the weather put a dampener on our activities. We spent those two and a half weeks in southern Scotland, Northumberland, the Lake District (and briefly Stockport, just to complete the tour of the UK's primary beauty spots).
