Hmmm, well i don't know if it's really hard to get there... actually i have never been in Britain but didn't hear anybody had some problems with passing the border...
As a curious detail I can tell you that we are under strong influence of British culture now. Almost every day I hear from medias what David Cameron did, what said the Queen, that prince Charles likes collecting mushrooms etc.
We have dozens of British programmes in TV ,even whole channels are translated. In the Sunday mornings I learn how to make
Yorkshire Pudding instead of
Czernina
!For goodness sake! it is almost 3am I must go sleep
