What do you think the world knows about the UK?

Where do Americans like to travel?
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales – from village shops and thatched roofs to tea-rooms and pot-holed country lanes, as much as they love London, Americans can’t get enough of our ‘cute’ little villages, but if we came from the wall-mart super-store ridden, inter-state roads of the USA then we’d probably be the same.
