Tim.........I was in the UK last July. I recommend that you take a VERY
fat wallet, a credit card with a VERY large spending limit, and be
prepared to accept outrageously high prices for absolutely everything
except milk in the supermarket and beer in every corner pub! Gasoline is
250% of the cost of that in mainland Canada. And don't ask for hand
inspections of film at the airport ....... you might be asked by MI6 to
accompany them to the back office for a shake down.
