Its pretty good in my opinion, some people hate on the midlands and especially the north, but they're fine, just not as affluent as the southerners. Sure we have our problems as a country, but I can think of plenty of places with far worse problems.
I like it, but then I suffer from an almost sickening patriotism, so hey. I have a feeling that other people may find Britain a little dreary, boring, and cold. Especially where I live, in darkest Shropshire, right on the Welsh border (on the English side) where there is little else but trees, fields and farms. But I love it like that.

Probably because of that exact kind of attitude.Lord George said:

exactly, we all like to poke fun at ourselves but some people genuinely don't seem to appreciate what they have. You don't like it here? After a week in Mogadishu you'd see a council house in Scunthorpe as a palace.

Seems a bit of a juxtaposition to complain about both chavs and old people in the same sentence.Jamienra said:I live in Manchester and its infested. I'm a teenager who likes rock and im made to feel very unwelcome. that might sound like me being a moaner, but i try to get along with everyone and when someone is chucking stuff at me because i have a band name on my shirt i think its unfair. Chavs seem to be decreasing in number since the "indie wave" began but its still a big problem in manchester.RyVal said:

Yes, two that I can think of are "Glasgow" and "young city dweller." Both are completely undecipherable to a civilized person and are signs of a society where people can only communicate at very primitive levels.mrhappyface said:
Britain is a cold country and many wines, beers and spirits are available for sale in our regional "supermarkets." We drive on the left hand side of the road which we do out or respect for our Trojan ancestors. If you travel to Wales you may see some creatures called Sheep. Do not be alarmed as they are relatively harmless and will not charge your vehicle unless provoked.
We do rule, go fake sense of class superiority now I'm off to look down on some poor people.Sir Ollie said:

Welsh sheep are pretty tame compared to that. I think it is due to the number of security cameras in town centres turning us into a police state.
ok, let me rephrase that:tricky_tree said:
don't ever come here, unless your desperate and in danger of losing your life.
I never said that Britain wasn't safe or whatever... its just REALLY dull, very boring place... safe, but boring.
Pretty densely populated, but not that dense.
We seem to be generally less awesome than the rest of the world, and more grumpy. We have, however, grown the likes of Liam Neeson, Sir Patrick Stewart, and Sir Ian McKellen, on UK soil, so that adds, what, 1000 awesome points?
