What is the United Kingdom? It isn't a country is it? A country can't be made up of other countries, right?
Q. Does that make the United Kingdom just some kind of alliance? I don't understand. It can't be an alliance because an alliance wouldn't have a capital city. And if the United Kingdom is a country, then how could England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland be countries? Someone help me out here. Please explain thoroughly.

A. It's a country the united kingdom and ireland (as it was once labeled), while technically correct if IRELAND is taken as the name of the country and not the island, can easily be misconstrued. the united kingdom and the republic of ireland would not be correct since there is no country whose name is republic of ireland. the united kingdom and eire is correct (two non-overlapping countries) but it contains a mixture of languages.

A. Nowhere nice near the beach is cheap. The whole of the south coast is expensive, although it's cheaper in the south west than in the south east. If you're ok with being up north, you could try South Shields which is just along from Newcastle, or Whitby in Yorkshire. Alternatively, you could look at Scotland. The coast there is really beautiful (in my opinion) and can look quite Scandinavian- it's all fjords and the like. Very pretty, but bloody freezing. Neither Slough nor Oxfordshire are anywhere near the coast!

What's the cheapest way to fly into the United Kingdom?

Can you suggest some cheaper airports to fly into maybe no more than a few hours away in which we could take a train into London? Can you offer any other travel advice?

A flight from NY to London is about $225 one way but that's excluding taxes and fees. Just for the heck of it I did a sample itinerary and it would be $1250 for 2 people round trip. That's pretty good - when my husband and I went to London over the summer we paid $1572.

Q. I paid off my house I received the deeds this morning but there is something wrong with them. My house was built in 1839 and the deeds is a photocopy of the original, on the photocopy it say "the original is kept at archive at the council". How do I get the original deeds back, I live in the United Kingdom ? Plus do this sound normal to you ? .Why would the council have my original deeds?

A. usually your mortgage provider has the deeds, or sometimes your lawyer. The council wouldn't hold the deeds. If it is the bank or lawyer there will be a fee to retrieve them, if it is the council it is odds on they have lost them

Q. How many Islamic Banks are in United Kingdom, which are working according to sharia laws? Can anyone name them, their websites? Is there link which is affiliated by the U.K government, where I can a list of banks in the U.K?

A. What you are asking about are not banks in the commonly understood meaning of the word. They are institutions that use strategies that allow them to lend money, while ostensibly not charging interest. If you want that kind of bank, you might be better off looking in a jurisdiction where what you describe is the norm.
