It's only 400 miles from London to Edinborough, though, which I don't consider bad at all. How long would the drive from London to Edinborough take? I think part of the problem is that American motorways are designed for lots of cars traveling quickly; there are far more secondary roads in the UK, and perhaps that makes the driving both more tiring and more time consuming. We see this in the US as well. It's a pain in the butt to drive up here in the northeast: aggressive drivers, congested roads. It's much faster and more relaxing to drive out in the American midwest and southwest.Plus, of course, your gasoline is about double the cost of ours. Regarding history, I remember doing a seminar near Bath England and walking past a working pub which had been established before Columbus set sail to America. That made my brain hurt a little.</blockquote>
