my hubby to be and I decided that for our honeymoon, we would go to the lake district, sorta north west of the country.
Anyone has been there before? biggrin

I seen picture and it's a really beautiful view!

been there more times than I count on my fingers. It is a great place to go!

I recommend you go when it's like summer or spring (if you can), it's beautiful then! It's beautiful all year round but good old english weather usually means if it's winter/autumn, it's bound to piss it down. XD
But yeah, I love it there. Been to lake Windermere and Bowerness (spellings are probably wrong). I got attacked by swans there, too. So, yeah, suggest you don't wind up the swans! Haha.

D: I was at a camp at Lomond a good couple of years ago when some swans with their little babies marched through our camp.

It was real cute but some people were taking the whole "swans can break your bones" thing to an entirely different level; running in the opposite direction as they got near. It was pretty funny.

And hello, by the way. c: Don't think I've posted here before.

[frekriiis]

Hello!

I'm a student studying in Hull, West Yorkshire...though I grew up in Cambridgeshire but was born near Watford...

I'm half English and half Scottish, so all British (as far as I can tell).

Also swans are vicious and a protected species...so it's best to avoid conflict with them. They're protected by the Queen...they're HER birds by law.

You're unlikely to get snow, but ice, frost and rain most definately. A lot of the British countryside (including the lake district) looks lovely when frozen.

I personally hate it when americans say that we have an "Accent." My question is; Which one? We live in a country where there are as many accents as people! (Slight overstatement but you get my point!)

actually it's not that much of an overstatement, i mean think about, there's loads of different english accents, but then ppl think we scots only have one accent, oh no, there's west coast, east coast, borders, highlands, and aberdonians have an accent all their own too, plus, and i'm sure some welsh and northern irish will vouch for me on this, they with have different accents as well

so all the stupid ppl that keep talking about loving "british accents", pick one, because we're 4 different countries, with different laws, different customs and cultures and different ******** accents!!!

btw, i'm originally from Port Glasgow, so i am what you would consider "british" but i'm actually scottish, just to clarify

also the ppl that keep saying "i'm part british, does that count?", no, it doesn't, what makes your nationality is where you were born, not your parents, e.g. i'm scottish, living in texas but i'll never be a full american because i was born in scotland, my dad's been here 14 years, he's a permanent resident, but he's still scottish, it's in his blood

there, i feel much better now that i've vented 4laugh

Well, i beg to differ on that part. Sorry. If we go by, your nationality is where you were born, then i will be American. However, i've lived in England since i was five (so, 16 years). So that amount of time and my mother being of british heritage allow me to qualify for a british passport. And since i hold a british passport, i am considered british. Where as, i'm actually dual national. So you can be partialy/half british.

And as for accents, people outside the UK typify the british accent to the Southern/London/Uppity uppity accent.

That is all.

My brother was born in Paris on a weekend break so that must make him French.

Sorry, really not in the mood to be anything but a d**k today.
