Good quiz, didn't get Turkey (like a poor American's Thanksgiving)

Lol. But to set the record straight, not all Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Two of our family members can't eat turkey because it triggers migraines so we usually serve roast chicken or pork, (along with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, of course!)

I have been a vegetarian for eight years now and before I did I always considered turkey to be too dry of a meat, chicken was better. And in case you are wondering - no I do not miss any meat at all, never have. lol

I'm American as well, and since barely anyone in my family likes turkey, we usually eat corn beef instead for Thanksgiving.

Other than it feeds a lot of people relatively inexpensively and is a generational tradition, I do not understand the obsession with turkey.

Taken by itself, it's a lame, uninspired, sad lunch on a random Tuesday in April, so to make it a center piece on a national holiday boggles the mind.

Its history is horrible too. To quote Jake Peralta, "The pilgrims were murderers and turkey tastes like napkins."

You'd find a similar pattern for most countries

Majority of short term tourists go to the nearest warm resort areas

Neither do Americans. Only a million less Brits travel to the USA than vice versa. As a percentage of population, we're much more likely to travel further.

You will have read - and you will probably have used as a punchline or explanatory prop for American parochialism - the fact that “the majority of Americans do not have passports”. This is true. The US State Department estimates that 42 per cent of the population possess one.

Brits travel a ton a ton to be honest. If you travel around Asia, Latin America or pretty much anywhere in the world, you're almost guaranteed to see lots of British people. These are just the most common destinations that they visit.

"Lots"? Not sure about that, haven't seen many brits in my travels. A lot more from the US; then again they do have a lot more people.

Yes, but the latter two are expensive to stay in relative to other European destinations (and I really don't know if there is anything much to do in Luxembourg, so I doubt it gets considered by others), whereas the US and Australia are (percieved as) more exotic destinations.

i'd suggest they had missed out the northern irish who cross the border to go shopping/go to work etc and go back but it's probably not recorded anywhere. The note says UK residents which should include them as well I suppose.

On other quizzes like this one it only counts overnight stays, so that might explain the lower numbers for Ireland. And of course, as you say, there isn't really any data on people crossing from north to south.

I've always wondered why the Czech Republic is usually so low on these types of quizzes, considering Prague is so well known in the fashion world. I guess I expected Londoners to travel there more

I'm not surprised Spain is the highest, there are tons of seaside resorts designed for specifically British tourists, and a ton of budget airlines flying to them. France is also well-served, but saying it's an hour from Dover doesn't mean anything to most of the rest of the country, where even getting to Dover can take an entire morning or even an entire day - either people will fly, usually to Paris, or brave the Eurostar queues.

Always amazed how few Brits ever go to Germany.

Global warming may change these patterns, of course, as the Med becomes far less hospitable from June-September.

It really can't be true that it has "nothing" to do with immigrants - this is after all based on the travelling patterns of residents of the UK, not UK citizens. There are hundreds of thousands (at least) of Poles in Britain, so imagine the effect on the figures if they each go home just a couple of times a year.
