[ercarta]

They're apparently not on this discussion board dude/non-dude. ;)

[Sonia]

They are all in Dorrian's on the weekends.

[Newbie]

Dorrians on Friday nights for all the British girls.

I think there are very few single girls in newport. Most of the people living in Newport (from my observation) are young couples. There could be some single girls living with roomates though.

[Newbie]

You gotta be kidding me right? There are 150 single British women aged 21-23 in the brown building opposite Staples.

Or go to Hoboken ANYTIME and there are thousands of single people in the bars, all between 25-35. If you can't meet people within one square mile of here, you never will!

So what's up with the infatuation with British women on this bulletin board? Am I missing something? Do they come factory installed with more amenities than say, an American woman? :confused:

[Admin]

Oooooh! Please say we do :D

(quietly remind folks that I am English and living in England)

BTW I'm single too

I was on a packed PATH train last night coming back from the City about 1am, and heard this cute accent that was so distinguishable from the rest. I looked over to see this pretty young English girl with her Surrey accent. It was easy to see how her accent could attract young America guys. Bare in mind that I am an Englishman myself and talk just like her. When you hear that accent for 25 years all the time, it's the norm. Once you hear it in a diferent country when you are so used to other accents, it really sticks out.

[Newbie]

Kerry-Anne, how is it that you are the Admin and you are in England .. ? Do please tell your story :)

I'm going to be back home in England for Christmas, can't wait :)

So, does an American accent on a pretty single woman have the same effect in England?

[Nic]

Not to the same extent, although 60 years ago an American accent on a man really did get English girls swooning.

[Newbie]

It certainly did to me. I dated three Americans when I was in the UK, just couldn't resist them :) .. now I have a long-term (four years) American girlfriend.

I'm thinking of taking advantage of some of those cheap vacation deals to England. Any suggestions from the 'Brits on board' as to where to eat CHEAP! That damn pound is kicking the American dollar's butt and a girl's gotta eat.

[wiley]

I am not a Brit but I went to London many more times than I wanted on business. My conclusion: expect to pay on the average 1 pound for something that costs 1 dollar, food or others. Well, if you are so concerned about pound's strength, why not buy some pounds now to earn the 5+% interest and take your pounds to England to spend when you are ready?
I like London a lot, although it is expensive: great people, polite, guys are good looking, women are attractive ...

[Nic]

Yea, Wiley is about right. A dollar matches a pound in London. You can, however, eat cheaply and well in London. There's a few places like Jimmy's and the Pollo bar in Old Compton Street, but the Chinese and Indian restaurants often provide superb value - best Indian restaurants in Southall, Brick Lane (actually mostly Bangladeshi) and Drummond Street; best choice of Chinese round Chinatown. There are also some great Turkish places around - Effies is one I like just off Oxford Street, but loads to choose from up on Green Lanes and North London generally. Then, of course, there's fish and chips or bangers and mash - good authentic places for these in Islington. Some great gastropubs in and around Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park, where the booze is more reasonably priced and the food can be excellent (Anglesey Arms and Thatched House personal favourites). A lot of pubs do good Thai too, one near the mighty Arsenal, but many around town. And of course, there are a few restaurants that operate BYO which drastically reduces the wine bill.

Which part of England would you be going to? It's a big country!

[demiking]

I would visit London. Take advantage of the London flings they are offering through British Airways. They have some vacation packages as cheap as $400 for hotel and airfare.

[Admin]

London's OK but it is very touristy and everything is extremely over priced. Mind you all of down south is expensive. The further north you go, the cheaper it gets.

[Newbie]

My (American) girlfriend has just spend three weeks travelling around the UK. She went to Belfast, then a week with us in Essex, before going up to Chester, Shrewsbury, Wales and Brighton.

Just like New York is not the real America, London is not the real England.

[Nic]

But London is very cool, and like all great cities it has the worst of things alongside the best of things. If you are going to visit England though, here would be my top 10 outside of London on the British mainland:

1. York, a beautiful walled cathedral city with good pubs and many attractions.
2. Edinburgh - Athens of the North.
3. The Cotswolds - rolling hills West of London with quaint stone villages.
4. Newcastle - best nightlife, nice day trips to Lindisfarne and Hadrians Wall, wonderful people.
5. Manchester - great nightlife, great history, heart of the gritty North.
6. Cairngorms and Moray Firth - Scotlands most impressive mountains and coastline for my money, but if you can put up with the people and midges the West is probably more scenic.
7. Lake District - a bit busy at times but always atmospheric.
8. Bath - historic Georgian city on the edge of beautiful Somerset.
9. Snowdonia - a rugged part of Britain, great for walking, where some people only speak the Welsh language.
10. Brighton. London at play. Traditional seafront, quaint character, busy gay scene. London prices sadly.

What does anyone else think? What have I missed?

BTW BA are doing a deal for $439 to London which includes 3 nights accomodation, flights and a ticket to the theatre. If you eat cheap, get a daily transport pass and stick to museums, galleries and pubs you probably only need a couple of hundred dollars expenses all up.

Cornwall: Very beautiful and picturesque. Always close to the coast. Lots of caves and heritage sites. Unusually overrun with stone circles and other remnants of the druid era.



Liverpool: Some great maritime museums and the current location of a large number of famous sea faring vessels. Quite a good atmosphere but don't take a car as it will most likely get nicked.



Cardiff: Not somewhere I would stay for long but a trendy place. Very busy and not at all Welsh considering it is Wales (it's the capital just in case you didn't know).



Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch: Just for the photo to show you by the longest place name in the world. Apart from that it's just a small village but while you are there it is worth checking out the rest of Anglesey as it is a nice island.



Snowdonia National Park: Beautiful view of Wales. You just can't beat it. For the lazy folks there is a train that goes to the top of the mountain or you can walk along well signposted and sensible routes varying in difficulty.



Norfolk Broads: Theres something about getting on a boat and travelling along at 4mph that is just so relaxing. Even off the water there are plenty of villages to visit and lots of costal attractions.



Blackpool: Home of the Blackpool Tower and the Pepsi Max roller coaster, this is a great place for a night out. It's a common place for hen and stag nights. Best visited during October when the illuminations are on (that's fancy lights all along the sea front for you guys who don't know). It's cold wet and windy, a perfect seaside resort. It also has a branch of Madame Tussad's Wax Works if you wanted to go there and didn't fancy London.



Manchester: Fantastic night life. Home of the Mardi Gras. Currently has a smaller version of the London Eye in the city centre. Excellent shopping especially at the Trafford Centre. Home to one of the most well known football (don't call it soccer as we are talking about England) team in the world - Manchester United as well as Manchester City who are also in the English Premier League. Greater Manchester (the county) has four Premiership football teams, and at least seven (of the top of my head) teams in other professional football leagues. There are also a large number of Rugby clubs in the area including St Helens who are normally either top or second in the top league (I don't follow rugby so I don't know what it is called).



Bolton: On the outskirts of Manchester. Home of the comedian Peter Kay. Home of me :) Great night life. Not too expensive on the old food and drink. Some amazing restaurants. At the base of the Pennines there is also plenty of countryside which for one of the largest towns in the country is quite amazing. Decent shopping facilities.

Thats all that I can think of off the top of my head but it should give you something to go off being the opinions of the local lass. ;)

Bournemouth down south is a good place...its about 2 hrs drive from London...I lived there for a year couple of years back...being a small town its quite cheap and is known for its nightlife and cute chicks...:-)...it has a nice beach as well and summers are usually crowded with tourists
