not a pom but spent a few months there last year.
London tourist stuff. Tower of London and a cruise on the Thames up to Greenwich. You can get discount vouchers I think at railway stations. Tate gallery is good if you're into modern art. There's old castles and roman ruins all over the place and some of the
historic houses are worth a visit. We went to Blickling Hall in Norfolk because I was working up there.

but there's lots of them. Seaside towns for a laugh.

Apart from Paris, we really liked Lille in Northern France. (where the eurostar stops) didn't do the battlefields as we weren't there on days the English language tour was on, but wandered around the town for a few days. Theres a good museum in Roubaix called La Piscine.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
