Poll: What is most important when choosing a destination?

We are always curious to find out what triggers people to go to Britain. Are you keener to choose a destination because of the price or is the destination itself more important, regardless what it costs? Maybe you don’t like cold weather or prefer hotels with high standard? Reasons for choosing a specific destination are very personal,  so the question for this Poll of the Month is:

What is most important when choosing a vacation destination?

Which category did you want us to write more about?

Last month we wanted to find out what you readers thought we should write more about and there were three topics that stood out from the rest:

Attractions & Culture               25 %
Nature & heritage                      16 %
Food & Drink                               15 %

So thank you all for voting, we will try to accommodate your wishes in the coming blog posts.

What did Thomas Hindersson do in London then?
In the beginning of June we asked you readers what theme the Swedish radio host Thomas should do when he’s in London? And you guys thought he should do London on a budget (25%) and Quirky London (17%). So we thought – let’s do both! And now he’s been to London so keep a look out for the first episode of Thomas Hindersson’s trip to London.

New poll of the month – Shopping

 

Now that most people have either seen, or chosen not to see, the new Sherlock Holmes movie, we decided it’s time for a new question. This time we thought, spring is almost here, and in some parts of the Nordics, you can actually see the ground. Maybe some of you have even seen flowers or other signs of Spring?

Well, anyway. I don’t know what you guys do, when Spring is nigh, but I do some serious closet inventory – i.e. I go shopping!  That why I decided that there’s no better Spring question to ask our dear readers, than “What do you primarily buy when shopping in Britain?”

To vote, click on your preferred choice in the right-hand menu and then press [vote].

And as usual, don’t hesitate to leave a comment. Maybe you have seen some nice Spring signs you would like to share, or maybe you think Spring is really far away. You can also debate the poll questions. What did you vote for and why? Was it the right options or did you miss something?

From football players to couch potatoes

Football season is almost over for the Nordic football teams and so is our this months poll and even though Premier League is still going for quite a while the results are already in. The people have voted and according to you readers, Liverpool wins Premier League this year! But it was a close call. With 21% Manchester United came in second after Liverpools 25%. Third was Chelsea with 20%. And I am sorry to tell you Gary, but only two people believed Sunderland would win this year. Let’s see if our readers are right.

This months poll will be dedicated to the British culture scene. We’ve got a few competitions going on like winning a year pass to the Stockholm Film Festival or movie tickets to In the Loop and for those who’d rather just go to Britain the blog is now loaded with tips like a tour round Harry Potters world or best places to go to in Sherlock Holmes Cornwall.

So I thought – Why not have a poll about culture on TV? And there’s your reason why I this month decided that you get to vote on your favourite political satire. Isn’t that fun?

To vote, click on your preferred choice in the right-hand menu and then press [vote].

And don’t hesitate to comment on either the last poll or the new one below. What did you vote for and why? Would you have liked to see other options? Do you think Liverpool really will win in the end? Will Gary ever get over his loss? The debate is on…
