Don't bother with websites. Just look for any town abroad with a pub selling Tetley's or a fish and chip shop and they'll all be there.

In what context of meeting Brits abroard?
As a traveller / as an epxat?
Cycling specific or just general?

I'm based in belgium and have no idea to be honest where you'd start here (even though there are hell of a lot of Brits in Brussels)

Julian I don't know to be honest I would look at the staff club on your nearsest university.

I know for sure there is a plenty of french at southampton uni, so shouldn't be too different in the other uni.

Don't bother, try to integrate with the locals (if you're working abroad is the first rule) if there's a significant expat community you'll soon end up at the British embassy having quiz nights (if in the middle east) or out on the razz (the rest of the world).

Your original question would help if you said where you are going, or do you want to read up on how Scots are continuing to be bigoted on a daily basis?

If so go here http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Welcome or here http://www.celticfc.net/home.aspx
