Hey, enjoy yourself!

Tuxedocat has some good suggestions. Just a point from a European, not ALL water in restaurants is sparkling. Just many places think that if you're paying for mineral water, you might as well get bubbles as well! Alot of western European tap water is fine now, but as always, bottled water is safest.

The Immodium is a great idea if you're D. No way would I cope commuting to work without it! You get most things (except soluble fibre supplements) in the UK, but I always find it a problem on the Continent as I don't know the right tradename to ask for. Phrase books are essential, plus keeping the leaflets with all your drugs so that you can point at the name!

Keeping toilet paper in your bag is a must travelling anywhere. I also carry flushable wet wipes to make life nicer.

Food-wise, it shouldn't be a problem. You can get chicken/fish/bread almost anywhere.

Anyway...make the most of it any enjoy yourself! Are you going to come to the UK?
