BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.
     GOOD NEWS
     Free museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities.
     Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival(与…匹敌)the US on this score.
     Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them
at weekends or night.
    Choice of food. Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants.
     Fashion. Not only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne
Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.
     BAD NEWS
     Poor service. "It's part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the rudeness they have
experienced," says Professor Tony Seaton, of Luton University's International Tourism Research Center.
     Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the
over crowded London tube is inexplicably(难以理解的) popular.
     Lack of languages. Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in
the tourist traps(圈套).
     Rain. Still in the number one complaint.
    No air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.
    Overpriced hotels. The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.
     Licensing hours. Alcohol(酒) is in short supply after 11 pm even in "24-hour cities".
