Save a Shilling in Merry Old England and Dine Well in the Bargain!

Glenn Mitchell's topic on a recent KERA 90.1 FM noon talkshow sought advice for his upcoming trip to England. Should you, or someone that you know be planning a trip, here are two interesting leads for the "frugal" traveler.

An all-new "underground" travel guide has been launched by Michael Brein that helps the thrifty traveler avoid expensive transportation costs by taking advantage of the local buses, trains and underground routes. There are guides for a number of world destinations in addition to London. Each guide is $5.00 plus $1.00 handling. For more information, call 1-800-875-8083, pin #0026, or on-line at www.michaelbrein.com.

If you would like a free fax of inside information on secret gems of value priced, cutting-edge London dining and tips, contact Chef Nick Barclay, of Barclays Restaurant in Dallas. Nick is one of the best chefs in the nation at creating gourmet British cuisine and is a native. He travels to London often, thus the continually revised fax sheet. Call Barclays at 214-855-0700 to arrange for your fax. (Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Barclays when you call.)

British Tourism offers a wonderful guide to lodging, restaurants and more in "Jewels of Great Britain". This lively, colourful book contains listings for all price ranges. The booklet is available free by calling 1-800-GO TO BRITAIN or Fax 1-212-986-1188. You can write to British Tourist Authority (BTA) at 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, 10176-0799 to request the free information. Happy vacationing!
