What's Britian like?

South is ok, north is a scumhole. Sorry northeners.

How nice. To the OP; avoid the south because you'll encounter egotists with an inflated sense of superiority.

Though to be honest, Britain as a whole is pretty shit. Everything costs too much and everyone seems to have terrible grammar. Though I would choose the north over the south; sure there's a bit more to do in the south (like go shopping and... that's it), but you'll need to do something since everyone there's so fucking unfriendly...

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.

That's odd. I came from Cork in Ireland originally, and I've enjoyed living down south (just outside Bristol, the bizarre and wonderful weed-den that it is) far more than when I lived in Durham for a bit.

Ah, well, Durham... (waves hand flippantly)

Yeah, I don't like Durham much. They rejected me when I was applying to the university. Apparently I'm not good enough for them... incidentally Bristol rejected me too :s. Small world, eh?

Durham and Bristol reject a lot of people mate, unless Daddy can buy the library a new bookshelf

Wet and cold. In summer it is damp and nearly warm or hot with a hose pipe ban even though it rained for the last 8 months.
We do not speak in a dialect like Pidgin, but becuase we invented English (what with being English and all) there are a lot of accents and local turns of phrase in a relatively small country.

If you have seen Brtish humour, you know that we are self depricating and will insult our own country as soon as anyone elses (although we will always insult the French and Germans first). To that end, we may say we hate it here, but your average Brit is VERY patriotic although it won't really be for Britain except for at Olympics time. I don't even call myself British, I am English and any Scot or Welshman will also probably say that they are not British.

Anyway, I digress. The weather sucks, we like to queue (or so foreigners think), we whinge a lot mostly about the government being soft and we have an immigration problem.

I love it here and would never call anywhere else home.

Fuckin A. Spot on. We moan about how crap the country has become but we all still love it.

People complain about chavs. They are the goombas of the villan world, when you compare them to gangs in USA / South America, Gun crime etc. All the people who think Britain is actually awful are Daily Mail readers.

Terrible grammer is as good as any yardstick with which to measure a country, I suppose.

in scotland you get to leagaly have sex at 16, and you can drink by the time you're 18, we have free healthcare also there are chip rolls, Chips in a bread roll basicaly.

im scotish btw.

Also we fry everything, we would probably fry a roll and chips in batter and everything if you asked us.

 

[David Bray]

Same as anywhere else unless you go to the peak district where it is very attractive. We are boring, the cities are boring, and our sex is boring.

Well, snow in our end is thankgod melting!!! My garden is almost looking like spring again. As for college, we don't go back until Wednesday (though other groups will be back tomorrow)

 

[Professor Idle]

I'm Irish by the way.

Hey! So am I!

England is much of a muchness really, it's not incredibly exciting or incredibly boring (London is an alright place to spend the day but I wouldn't want to live there).

Chavs are a major problem though (along with 'the lads' and football hooligans).

My god do I hate the chavs.

Britain is the dullest country on the planet.

Don't ever come here.

 

[Andrewd96]

I went to southern England and found it excruciatingly boring.

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

I'm Irish by the way.

Whooo! im from Newcastle!! the North is better than the south it's way more intresting

You think people from Iraq or Vietnam or any non-descript Eastern Bloc country has that mentality?
Bugger me you're a miserable git.

 

[EeveeElectro]

You live in Hawaii and want to know about this shit dumpster? Oh man. I wouldn't spare a thought. My fella used to live in Hawaii, the only thing that's better about us is our sweets and chocolate.
We don't have our own language, but you'd think it. I'm from t' Yorkshire wer t' people talk lark this.
I'd probably confuse you with some of my words, and you're likely to find a 15 year old dick head in your face after a night out asking for a fight.

...I love this country.

Hmm, we do have quite a few fat people, but I guess we just don't have all the time.

Maybe someone else has a better answer.

haha, not entirely true but I have to agree the South is better

I'm half English, half Welsh and so call myself British :/ speak both languages fluently but when all is said and done most people here speak English. Unlike most American films believe, we don't speak Cockney. Nobody ask about that please!!!!!!

less fat people than America, less attractive people compared to the rest of Europe, good general sense of humor, unhealthy but fucking delicious food and more promiscuous sex.

and you've based that on what evidence exactly? *raised eyebrow*

I kinda LIVE there. Just a little!
