Ok, maybe your first taste of britain was with films starring Hugh Grant or novels by Jane Austen, but also:
- Coming here on holiday: Britain loves tourists and is proud of its unique history and heritage.
- Coming here to work: With a shortage of labour, Britain welcomes workers from abroad. The British economy is a star performer compared to many of its European rivals, with plenty of relatively well-paid jobs. Unsurprisingly, Britain attracts large numbers of people particulary from poorer Eastern Europe.
- Coming here to study: The UK is famed for its educational institutions. English is the world's premiere language of bussiness and the media, so it's no surprise that the UK is a magnet for foreing students.
