Travellers to England! Remember: There is unemployment in England. Make sure there is a job before you go. Make sure you know where you are going to stay, before leaving Jamaica. Its cold in England, take warm clothes. Take at least 20 extra money on board ship and for train and bus fair. Send children with responsible adults. If you take more rum and cigarettes than the law allows you will have to pay heavy customs duty.
