We do not request flight following in the UK we ask for a flight information service. Not as good as flight following as it does not have radar coverage and the contoller just tells you of other aircraft in the area and no avoidance information.
Fliht following in the USA is a fantastic tool, they squawk you and then pass you from various approach control centres, no need to inform every airfield you fly over you are in the area, not like here in blighty. Excellent stuff.

Yes, Smith, it is a fantastic tool, isn't it.
Britain calls it "Radar Information Service" - so ask for that instead of a FIS.
If you want a really good service, even better than flight following, ask for a Radar Advisory Service (if you are either IFR or in receipt of military LARS).
The USA is no better than what you can get back there (apart from landing fees).
