Edmund Posted 5 June 2009 Posted 5 June 2009 http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-li...All#noTravelAll An interesting read. If you click on each country it tells you why. Im surprised Italy and Afghnaistan are in the same bracket.

Im surprised Italy and Afghnaistan are in the same bracket. Just reading why now and the main thing is Swine flu along with earthquakes, terrorism, transportation strikes, etc.
lcfc_jme Posted 5 June 2009 Posted 5 June 2009 I know it's about countries, but Coventry and Nottingham should be added to the list. I've been here for the best part of a year now and I've hardly seen any trouble at all. Infact, I've seen a lot more trouble in Leicester on the occasional trips home from uni than I have out here. I think Nottingham's reputation is massively overstated, tbh. Trouble only seems to find you here if you expressly go looking for it.
Edmund Posted 5 June 2009 Author Posted 5 June 2009 Just reading why now and the main thing is Swine flu along with earthquakes, terrorism, transportation strikes, etc. The government are real scare mongers aren't they. Terrorism is as much probable here as it is in Italy along with swine flu and transportation strikes. The earthquake is just a natural disaster. On that basis they might as well class most of Asia as dangerous after the Tsunami. Whereas Afghanistan has a full war going on.
Red Leicester Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-li...All#noTravelAll If you live your life fearing what politicians say then you'll live no life at all.
Edmund Posted 6 June 2009 Author Posted 6 June 2009 If you live your life fearing what politicians say then you'll live no life at all. Ok thanks for that. That is the reason why I found it interesting, how they class Italy and Afghanistan in the same bracket. It's common sense.
