I went to Scotland and Newcastle, and it was brilliant!

I'm Irish by the way.
Never trust southern Englanders. They stole our northern natural resources, such as beer and pork scratchings. I am a Geordie, and that is why I can look down on southerners, 'coz I am above them, rofldofldoo.

Which is why I am moving to aus, alot nicer there and everything is cheaper than in England.

I know they have a crazy policy relating to games but I will just get my brother to buy them for me in England and post them to me.
Sounds like a good plan! :D

Although personally, I think Aus would be a bit hot for me, but to each his own :p
Thats going to be a problem for me aswell, I can't control by body temp. so it could get a little dicey for me.

Not to mention the wild life is a tad dangerous.

But back on topic, England is crap, spend one day on the outskirts of Liverpool city centre and any body will be sick of it.

The north of England is pretty cool. But I live in Manchester and it's a big-ish city so I dunno about the non-urban areas in the north.

Basically we drink lots of tea, knife lots of people, get angry about football and then we all get drunk

Actually, that's the complete opposite. I've lived in the south, in the Midlands (for most of my life), and now live up north (Leeds), and I have to say that a lot of people down south who I met are pretty boring and that it's pretty bad down there. The only way it's better is that there are better paying jobs there, a lot of southerners (particularly the South East) are quite rich. Up north, people are much friendlier and happier and I really feel at home here. I prefer the north much more.
Nope, the first guy was right.

Every time I see a picture of England it's is always Grey and depressing, the country side is ok but since it's raining almost non stop, you can't go and look at it.

Its wet, cold and everywhere you look there are groups of chavs roaming the shopping centres.
Despite this I love it! I hate hot weather and the rain acts as a reason not to go outside and play games all day long.

Ermmm....yeah, down south is nice, with its coastline and countryside.
Luckily, i live next to the New forest, and also really close to the coast.
Basically, we seem to hate everyone, and then when we have run out of people to hate, we turn on ourselfs.
Nice food if u go to right place aswell.

Hmm fair enough. As far as going to look at the countryside is concerned, I just have to step out of my front door. I live in one of the most rural areas of England :D

How nice. To the OP; avoid the south because you'll encounter egotists with an inflated sense of superiority.
I hope that's not directed at me, because if it is I don't understand how you draw that conclusion.

We all say we hate each other (scousers hate mancs, northeners hate southeners and the scottish hate everyone and have their own money which is the same as our money but just with different pictures) but at the end of the day, we all agree on one thing.

We are British, and we are fucking proud of it.

pretty decent economy. concencus politics. moderate socialists in charge but no overpowered unions. oh and fish and chips. also weed is legal to smoke. overall its kinda like purgatory, so so
Weed is not legal at all, it's a class B drug
nah man its illegal to buy but you can smoke it in front of a police officer totally legally. that being said maybe asking for a light from one of them would be pushing it a little

It's pretty much the same as any western democracy except with worse weather.

I've never been to the UK, and from this thread, I get the impression that it's a terrible rainy wasteland dotted with small outposts of civilization where the armed forces fight off hordes of slavering chavs daily, all controlled by a spastic, OCD government, the only upside being you can buy excellent candy. Sounds like fun, guys!
Well, that's what you get when you ask questions like that on a forum full of teenage gamers in the middle of a recession with a government at the end of it's second term in power. These little fuckers don't know they're born. Try growing up in the 80's, that was crap. And no doubt someone older than me would tell me the 80's were a wonderul, bountiful time compared to the 70's etc. Quality of life gets better decade after decade but because we're all such a spoilt bunch of idiots we have to complain because it's not perfect.

One thing you have to remember about the British...we love complaining. It is pretty much our national passtime. If everything is going fine we fuck something up just so that we have something to moan about.

LOL Reminds me of something I heard a comedian say once.

Scousers hate Mancs, until some southerners come along, and then they're no longer Scousers and Mans, they're northerners. Then when some Scots come along it's no longer "We're northerners!", "We're southerners!", it's "We're English!".

Then when some French people come along it's no longer "We're Scotish!", "We're English", it's "We're British!". Then when some Americans come along it's no longer "We're British!", "We're French!", it's "We're European!". And so on...
