Britrail pass?

[wvpiper]

I bought a Britrail pass back in 2002. In fact,I traveled from Edinbugh, London,Paris, Venice and Cinque Terre Italy, 2 weeks in all, never used a car.
If I wanted to go from Edinburgh, to a more rural area like St Andrews, I took the train to Louchars (sp) and a few moments later a bus arrived and took us to St Andrews. Public transport in Europe is plentiful.

If you rent a car, you then have to worry about parking it and paying to park it, gassing it (gas in europe is very expensive) etc.

For advise on rail passes, consult ricksteves.com or pick up one of his books and browse it at the book store. He has a free railpass guide, or at least used to.

Fuel in the UK has fallen in price recently - it is now just below 90 pence per litre of normal unleaded, that is 35 fluid ounces - or a pint and three quarters - if the pint is 20 fluid ounces, but I have a suspicion that pints and gallons are different in the country of Tisoffthee.

Having been paying almost 1.2 pounds per litre not long ago the present prices seem quite good.
