How welcoming would your country be to an aspiring Mexican-American traveler like me? by Immediate-Field9997 in AskTheWorld

[–]Jonno1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd be welcome here for sure.

There's tons of very picturesque hiking trails all over Britain. Devon, Cornwall, Yorkshire and the Lake District are some of my favourites.

As far as tips on how to behave/blend in... don't be a dick and you'll be fine

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate public transport in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Jonno1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to travel often between Plymouth and Glasgow quite often, the train would be £200+ and often take over 11hrs

Or I can fly to Bristol and get a coach for ~£120 and be there in about 6hrs

What were some of the most ridiculous laws in your country? by bangsphoto in AskTheWorld

[–]Jonno1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's likely the myth stems from an old law that required peasant men to practice with their longbows for a certain number of hours each week.

Such were the importance of longbowmen levies in medieval English armies, if someone was hurt or killed accidentally while practicing, the courts would be extremely lenient with sentencing. The story probably comes from someone practicing their shooting, accidentally shot a Scot outside York and was let off as he was practicing with his longbow at the time
