Some suggestions please

I'm not saying it's similar, but I suppose you could say it is a relative. Have you tried Erinmore? Some prefer the flake over the mixture (and vice versa) so you might want to try both. We can't get Mick McQuaid plug over here, but you can find Erinmore at almost every tobacconist.

I'm a newbie too. I just bought a tin or two of blends from different genre that scored highly on http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/. It kind of helped me figures out what the basic difference are and where I might like to explore

I am an English lover myself, very fond of Latakia forward blends. Have you tried any GL Pease tobacco?
I am very fond of their Gaslight plug which is an English and their Jackknife plug which is a Virginia/Burley...both are excellent. Gaslight is my favorite.
Also very fond of Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding. One of these might be a good choice.

Folks, he's in the UK so C&D, GLP, McClelland, etc. are going to be tough for him to get his hands on. Distribution is getting better, but he's about as likely to come across some of those as you are Condor Ready-Rubbed at your local gas station here in the US.
With all due respect, mild and burley aren't exactly words that go together. Burley is used to give blends a more earthy taste, body, and nicotine. The best bet would be VA/burley blends with some cavendish. Mac Baren blends should be easy to find in the UK. "Connoisseurs" tend to look down their nose at Mac Baren blends, but I love them and rate several highly. Since you don't seem to have trouble with flakes, I would try to find Mac Baren Navy Flake. Burley, VA, and cavendish. It's a great smoke. Mac Baren Mixture Scottish should be easy to find over there too. It's got something like 37 tobaccos in it. It's a great mild, slightly sweet smoke, but not overly flavored. Mac Baren Roll Cake, Dark Twist, and Club Blend are also popular (and very similar blends) -- round "coins" of tobacco. I think Roll Cake has the most burley of the three, but don't hold me to that. Just a piece of advice with Mac Baren tobaccos, don't puff too fast. I know we say that all the time, but they will bite you if not smoked properly.
If you're looking for something with a more noticeable added flavor/flavour try Sam Gawith's Kendal Cream Flake. VA and burley with a special flavoring that makes it very creamy, not sweet and fruity. It's one I really enjoy, but don't smoke it for breakfast or on an empty stomach. It's not super strong, but it can surprise you if you've never smoked it before.
Keeping with a bit of flavoring, Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bob's Chocolate Flake is great if you're okay with a bit of Latakia. It might have a slight taste of soap/flowers/lavendar at the beginning, but I urge you to smoke 2-3 bowls all the way through before you make a lasting judgement.

Is there any mildish Burley tobacco any one would recommend?

Try Hearth & Home's Classic Burley Kake, available from Pipes&cigars.com. Also, from the same source, I would highly recommend Angler's Dream.
Then there are always the Mac Baren classics: Burley London Blend and Golden Extra.

There is no finer Burley IMHO than Solani - 656: Aged Burley Flake ( watch out for the Nic, Burley is very strong in this area ). Pure enjoyment with this one in the AM w/side of strong coffee ~ I have not tried MMP, but having looked it up I think I will now ::
You might also enjoy a nice VaBur blend; I really enjoy Peterson's University Flake ( again the Nic is higher in this blend for some, for me it just hits the spot ) I woke this morning craving this blend and just pulled a 1yr old tin from the cellar. I have a few flake getting some air for a good afternoon smoke on the hammock :D
This spins off into the question of why would I need to have a tobacco cellar? Well, I can wake up any day of the week, have a taste for "something", walk into my cellar and "find it" :worship:

@TAB that pretty much sums everything up in a nut shell.
