Channel hopping for beginners
Article Abstract:
Many different types of British people are now taking day trips to Calais, France. This can sometimes make the actual journey something of an ordeal. However, Calais itself is well worth visiting. There are many traditional bars and restaurants offering local seafood dishes at very reasonable prices, and there is a very relaxing atmosphere. Some of the British visitors behave inappropriately, and this is the only element which spoils the trip.

Corsets and codpieces hold court
Article Abstract:
The guides at Hampton Court in London, England, are dressed in various costumes which play a part in the 'historical reinterpretation' approach which is now being taken at this tourist attraction and a growing number of others. The guides have to do extensive research into the period which they represent. It has been found the visitors to attractions which take this approach retain more information and find their visit more enjoyable.

And the best of British to you, too
Article Abstract:
There has been considerable publicity over recent years aimed at encouraging people to 'Buy British.' However, it is often very difficult to actually find British-made goods in the shops. Many items, especially electrical equipment and clothing, are made in Asia, and even many foods come from abroad. Retailers report that there is in fact little demand for British-made goods.
