I am planning a trip to the U.K. this fall. As soon as I land in London I plan to head North as quickly as possible to escape what you have described. I've always believed that the real England is in the villages and smaller towns. Hope the rot of group think has not reached Norfolk but I fear I may return with the same impression. I lived there from 92-95 and have only been back once about seven years ago. I'm hoping that at least my old pub has not changed and the beer is still good.

Sounds like a plan. We had a wonderful time once we left London. We headed to Bath and then spent a week in the Cottswold (sp?). No shortage of beer, not to mention cheese!
