Yer top 5 crap things about Britain

The weather (obviously) Crap beaches No skyscrapers Crap Sundays The way London tries to have a mediterranean cafe culture with tables and chairs outside in the middle of freezing fcuking December (it struck me as quite sad that, when i came home from sunnier climes one winter and saw all the empty tables outside cafes and bars.Um , hate to break this to you London , but , um, you haven't quite got warm enough weather for that culture..)

Is that 5 ?? i could go on....

Oh yeah , crap beaches.Did i already say that??

The Cure Corby Francis Wilson - sky weatherman HP in a plastic bottle Coathangers

DIGI MIKE don't yer know wrote: The Cure

Surprise surprise!!

Oh i forgot, slow car drivers.Why can't everyone race around like idiots like they do in India and Egypt , places like that

Amsterdam bars only put tables out when the weather is good enough. Dunno whether it's on a particular day of the year, but they all seem to do it on the same day. It's strange, the city is given over to pavement bar culture overnight.

Britain's cool. You can find things to knock about it, but overall it's okay. Some of the beaches are nice, even. In fact, I might go for a walk on the beach now!

Oh and shops closing at 5.30 PM.Why can't they stay open til midnight or even later like they do in Tel Aviv??

Milton Keynes Chavs No National Service ( bout time they brought it back i say)

Rain

Coldplay

Yob/chav 'culture'

Shit, and I mean embarrasingly shit, transport infrastrucuture, including speed cameras on deserted stretches of the M6 in Cumbria on Sunday mornings!

Coldplay

1. Chavs
2. scroungers
3. slow speed limit
4. lack of freedom
5. too many people who always moan about stuff (but not me obviously!)

There's a job for you at the Mail mate.

Ponder this.....

The "send em home" policy, the thing is...WE started it...so we'd have to take back most of Austalia, a fair portion of Jesusland, and smatterings of half the planet.

I look at it this way....you want to live here cos you like our way of life, that's fine, welcome to your new home. You want to turn this country into your old country, fuck right off back there thanks.

Well put

Merseyside The South

Oh God, where to start? I'll probably have to edit this post as I think of lots more.

a. our rude and aggressive street culture - why do so many people in London (at least) seem to harbour a barely suppressed uncontrollable rage?

b. our eagerness to join in any war going, no matter how futile or stupid it is.

c. the insane cost of housing (I recently drooled with envy at a Yank friend who was thinking of buying a fantastic place in a maajor city over there, for the cost of a broom cupboard in London)

d. the way our economy is now almost totally dependent on the City and the financial sector, to a greater degree than any other country on earth (possibly in history). This is probably not unrelated to (c) - we don't make anything any more, we just shuffle debt around and sell and buy each other's houses. The whole house of cards may one day collapse.

e. The massive economic inequality and dismal social mobility.

PS I agree with the first poster about the London 'cafe culture' nonsense. But its not so much the weather that makes it stupid, its the fact that our streets are much narrower than those of Paris ('cos of Hausemann and avoiding barricades and all that). So you see these idiots sitting on the pavement with their cappuccinos while lorries thunder past just inches away, probably leaving a thin film of diesel particulate all over their coffee.

And this stupidity has only come about since the invasion of the yuppies following the de-regulation of the City. Up till then London had a declining population and was quite a pleasant place. Now its an overcrowded hellhole.

Ah yes, the bizarre mix of fire brand socialism (minimum wage, blair on trial etc etc) and richard littlejohn esque populism. Mixed, of course, with a lethal amount of Capital letters.

whats wrong with this country? people who cant decide if they're left wing, right wing, or somewhere in the middle.

That, and the continuing decline of the Great British Chippy. I blame the government myself.
