What Do You Dislike About The UK...

[Tuffdisc]

Oh, I forgot....political correctness, they seem to be extreme over here

@ED I agree

Britain is very PC, but it needs to be, given the shocking racism that is rife throughout the country. Yes, the working classes, I'm looking at you.

But they tend to force you to be someone you are not, which isn't right

how do you mean?

 

[Springsteen]

The fact that the Daily Mail is still in publication despite being horrible for so many years. Ditto the Sun really.

Council Estate chavs, horrible to look at, and they have the cheek to moan about immigrants, I'd rather have immigrants than you unclean, unkempt scruffy, dirty tossbags.

spot on. It's embarrassing to think that the Sun is the country's favourite newspaper...

eta: although the Daily Mail bothers me more. It's read generally by supposedly educated people... that is a scary thought...

I love reading The Sun. It is fucking hilarious how awful it is and every single day they seem to have to be apologising to someone :24:

 

[Zorak]

If you don't like the Daily Mail, you must be an illegal immigrant or a paedo!

Things I dislike about the UK:

1.) Northern Ireland. Just give them unification.
2.) Scotland: Give them their independance.
3.) Privatised companies with a nationalised infrastructure, B.T etc
4.) Cricket
5.) indie music

They have hot and cold faucets instead of one faucet where you can get your own happy medium.

You have to pay to use the bathroom and even in most restaurants they are locked... WTF?

Roundabouts.

No Taco Bell or Dunkin Donuts.

I'm sure there's more... lol.

.

the restaurant thing reminded me, they need to embrace tipping it might encourage better service from staff, when i was on vacation i did not find any restaraunts where the servers were cheerful or seemed to like their job and try asking for a pitcher of water, on more than one occasion i had to pay for water

I hope you're being sarcastic. :24:

*scratches her head*

Yes... in fact other than in the UK I've not ever experienced the separate faucets for hot and cold.

We have separate faucets and 'mixers' here. Typically basins (sinks) have separate faucets and baths have mixer, kitchen sinks also have mixers.

4.) Cricket

What you no like to watch grass grow.. :24:

Some houses have one tap (faucet) instead of two.

And the only place I've ever had to pay to use the bathroom is in London. I've never had to pay anywhere else in the country.


And yeah Zorak I agree, give Scotland their independence. I'll even help rebuild Hadrians Wall to keep them out :surrender

 

[USF Sam]

The Brits are an odd lot, as far as I've experienced.

Talk to a Brit male individually and he'll be a charming, articulate gent.

Talk to a group of Brit males and they turn into a boorish, sexist vile pile of humanity.

most places I lived in the UK had a single tap for hot and cold.

never been in a restaurant that had locked toilets either. You only pay in public ones. I'm guessing you were in a tourist area?

yeah, there's lots of roundabouts, they keep the traffic flowing.

There's loads of Dunkin' Donuts in London. Never seen a taco bell tho.

soccer

Yes that's right, i said soccer.

Soccer players are the biggest pussies of any sport bar none. What other game do you see grown men fall to the ground clutching there leg when another player comes within a foot or so? If I don't see cleat marks in your leg, no penalty, pussy!
