Steve has had lots of good advice on travel, so I'll just pick up the train/food issue.
You can check out train costs and timetables on http://www.thetrainline.com - UK train prices are verrrry variable and book ahead/ travel offpeak can be much cheaper. You can even watch out for cheap first class upgrade (sometimes available cheaply at weekends and worhwhile because it includes decent food). Apart from that I recommend looking for a Marks and Spencer Simply Food store , in most city stations, where you can put together a delicious picnic for your journey.

Hi Ammar,
I only understood the (non) smiley.

Hey Steve,
Thought you were sitting this one out
Seriously though, it's good to think about how we communicate here. On another space http://www.cabweb.net we have found not everyone feels able to participate in discussion in a space open to Google and the Internet. The geographical distribution of our public space are similar to this site see http://moodle.org/sites/
whereas the geographical distribution of (at least some of ) the discussions in a closed space is different. We don't all have the freedom to feel comfortable making public posts.
Perhaps we should be thinking about how to encourage underserved communities to contribute. I think that making 'political' posts the 'elephant in the room' whilst apparently making posting easier and less problematic, could have the opposite effect of setting up hidden obstacles.
So what do I think? I think that inter-cultural communication is truly challenging and requires questioning of assumptions (our own and those of others) and tolerance from all. We can ignore trolls (when we spot them) and try to err on the side of giving a voice to all comers.

This is a great idea - from a respectable tradition see http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/
They have something interesting things to say about how these bad sites inform web design.
