in fact, I only get a weeks vacation, and that week is decided by the boss, when the whole operation closes
and I usually get my week pay ahead of time

That really is bent.
So if you wanted to go away for 2 or 3 weeks, would you have to quit your job?

I doubt it.
But I know I would probably never be able to go on a trip that long by myself because I wouldn't save up the money.
It would take me years to save up that sort of cash.

On friday I calculated saving from that day up to the end of august and I wouldn't be able to afford a flight to London by then.

Are flights quite expensive?
Within Europe you can (subject to taxes/handling fees) get some really cheap flights. I've flown from Bristol to Dublin before with a ticket price of a penny (granted, by the time you add in various extras like airport tax it came to about twenty-five quid, but it isn't a lot).

The flight I took to Ibiza the other week was less than £100 return.

And with a dollar only buying you about £0.60 pence at the moment
It would be hugely expensive to come over at the moment.

A pint would cost you between £3 and £4 - or about six/six and a half dollars a drink.

reckon I shouldn't come then?

Not saying that. I'd just be mindful that the UK isn't exactly a cheap place to visit.
Bar getting drunk with the Internet, what would you like to do whilst in the UK?
