Are there any trains that go slowly as at the speed of local ones from Enfield to Liverpool Street, that go at some distance around the country?

good evening..I am visiting the UK and Rome for approx.14 days in October. I am flying from Cleveland, Ohio and was wondering if any of you could help me plan out which country would be cheapest/fastest to fly into, keeping in mind that I have to jump from that country to the other three in the UK and end in Rome. I bought some videos of things to see and there is just way too much to do so I want to spend the most time in Scotland and Ireland and maybe only a day or two in England and Wales. Can you possibly shed some light on the best way to travel between these countries? Any idea how expensive it is? Everything I have seen is making it almost impossible to wait till October! So beautiful there! Thanks all for your helpful answer in advance.

I need some new running shoes but really want to go to a place where they will be able to advise me on the best shoe for my feet and running style. Last time I went to a general sports shop and they weren't able to tell me much about each shoe.

Is it wrong for someone to comment or be a little alarmed at the greatest migration of people to the U.K in its entire history? I am not saying Eastern European people are bad people, they are just people with good and bad, the point is the volume of people that have arrived and it has had a significant impact on the employment of British workers, if you complain you are declared a racist and a bigot. I dont understand it, if it was the other way round Eastern Europeans would be more voiciferous at least. EDIT:SOUL. So if 4 million Black African people arrived on a small Island in the North sea i call home , if i complained about them i would be a racist?? because exactly that has happened , and i have complained but i am not a racist. I am complaining for exactly the same reason as the white Eastern Europeans. This is the issue too:America is a melting pot of every race, culture and ethnicity incliding many Eastern Europeans, Black people and Muslims, it was built upon this. Whereas the United kingdom has had the same basic settled poipulation for 10,000 years, in the past 50 years we have seen the changes and this has accelarated beyond anything you could probably imagine in the past 15 years. Edit:man in the iron mask, You are of course correct, though if you commented like this over here you would be called a nazi and a racist and all sorts. The Marxists have an iron grip upon Europe and especially the U.K. EDIT:KAT D. If you worked in say a chicken processing plant in a small town with little or no jobs and were unskilled and were laid off one friday and replaced by a group of Polish or Africans or Muslims you could possibly say waht you said some people do say. I do not think it would class you as a racist or indeed a bigot, it would however be unfair upon the worker who has worked that job to support themselves for x years and now finds themselves on the scrapheap. this kind of thing has been happening all across the U.K due to mass migration. From London to Inverness etc etc etc. EDIT:KAT D. If i went to Poland with a million other Scottish and took up a million jobs within the Polish labour market it would be uncomfortable for the locals, if then another 2 million English people did the same as the Scots there would be uproar. and the Polish would be a lot more nasty and intolerant than the minority of British people have. EDIT:KASHMIRI WARRIOR.. I think you are correct in the point that even yourself acknowledges the fact that Cultures and Ideologies coming from the Indian sub continent are virtually alien and in many cases such as Islam they are diametrically the opposotie of cultures such as White European or British cultures, the interesting thing is most of these people who follow Islam are on the whole very well mannered and carry themselves well in life, are engaging conversationalists etc and their culture is rich, i have to say though i cannot respect a culture that wants to set up camp in my back yard and take over and change all of the ways of life and laws etc that have been in place here for centuries. Its got a lot to do with mindset and how we see other cultures when belonging to certain cultures too.

And what is the worst big city in the U.K?
