Thought I'd pop over to the UK for a short break but the prices of hotels are incredible. I was going to do 3 days West Country then 3 days London but with them wanting over 600GBP (without breakfast) for the West Country and over 500GBP for London I thought I would look elsewhere. So 3 days Prague in a suite in the centre of the city with breakfast (plus free wi-fi and other extras) for only €400 and 3 days Bratislava for €350 with the same set-up as Prague makes it a bit easier to decide, plus no extortionate Chunnel charges either. Why, oh why, is the UK so expensive? And I really fancied going (still the hotel staff in the UK probably come from the same countries I'll be visiting)

Next time I decide to visit I'll attempt to claim asylum from the mainland as they won't pay my rent or give me enough benefits

Exactly one of the main reasons I wanted to come, to show Frau D. some of the beautiful treasures that Britain has (excluding DA) that she hasn't already seen.Originally posted by escapeUK View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
