[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing I would definitely do differently from the US is skirts instead of shorts when you don't want to wear pants (called trousers in the UK, "pants" refers to underwear).  [b]Pretty much only Americans wear shorts in Europe[/b], though you might not care about that.

Also, when London is hot it's very sticky...so bring at least one or two things that will work if the weather shifts.  Denim is generally fine in London, but you might want a go to evening outfit that isn't denim...some places have dress codes and overall people are more dressed up.[/quote]

Um, no, this is absurd and ridiculous.  I live in Europe, and my DH is British, and I can assure you that plenty of people in Europe wear shorts!  In fact, I see MANY British girls/women wearing shorts: they even wear them in the Fall/"Autumn" with tights.  Seriously, wear whatever you wear at home.  In London, you'll see MANY people wearing all of the things that your American friends (who were in Europe once on a honeymoon or school trip 30 years ago, or who read books like French Women Don't Get Fat and think they are sophisticated to believe the far-out-of-date observations of what is "common" in Europe) tell you that Europeans don't wear.

Op here.   Chill.   Out.  Seriously.   [/quote]

OP, what do you want? Off-base advice from American tourists, or authentic information from people in the know? I don't get the rude reaction to someone who is trying to help you.

Different poster. Read the post back "this is absurd and ridiculous" - you're using alarmist language. Its extreme and reactive, not the kind of language that works well in a note of help to someone. Tone it down a little and no one will think you are as rude.[/quote]

Oh please, I thought the post was fine, and honest and to the point. Read it in Dame Maggie's voice and it is perfectly acceptable advice. [/quote]
