[supercat]

why bump month old topics?

if the discussion keeps on going then there is nothing wrong with it.

 

 

 

Anyway, I think the UK is turning into a complete dump in certain areas although i'm sure what i have seen has been completely exaggerated. Many places in the UK are very nice but in others it can be extremely bad full of....*sigh* chavs. I would gladly enrole in the police force to get as many of them off the streets as possible which may happen if i don't get my first choice job of a doctor :P. The government needs to make punishments much harsher i think to really deter people from doing this..it's getting out of hand now as i saw a video on the news with a gang of chavs stoning a police car.

It's a nanny state, taxes are too high, rains too frequently, there is barely any good British food, humor is weird, accent is annoying, chavs everywhere, etc.

 

 

 

Those are the negative reputations England seems to have. Other than that, it's a good place to live in

[Jaziek]

there is barely any good British food,

 

 

 

WTF?! Theres tons of great british food!

[tomdavies90]

Mpve to India, there's probably a lower percentage or Indian people than in the UK. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it shows how silly our government is, and how rubbish the immigration controls are.

You don't want a lot of Indians in England?

[spatulus13]

It all depends on where you go in England.

 

To be honest, its not that good, not that bad here (Newcastle) - theres the minoity (Chavs...) who are complete tossers, and everyone else is pretty much ok :)

 

 

 

Another thing, You can't beat good old fashioned English Fish and Chips =p

First to are correct, rain is nice, tonnes of good food eg. fish & chips, bangers & mash, stew, pie + dishes from other cultures that are now part of British culture such as curries and chinese. Besides, what do Canadians eat other than Kraft dinner :D .

 

Humour is fine, it just takes more intelligence to undertand than all that [cabbage] they watch in North America.

 

There are many accents in the UK, some are annoying, but only a very small few are more annoying than American/Canadian accents.

 

Chavs are vermin but there are places without them.

[Verminox]

Gun crime, more or less every week someone is killed by youths, last night an 11 year old was shot in the head, all depends what part you move to.

Rain being nice is your preference. For one, I like going out so frequent rain is horrible

 

Chinese and Indian food != English. And the food you listed isn't really "good food"

 

"cabbage they watch in North America" when these shows are syndicated all over the world. Either way, your humour is weird

 

I wasn't born here in Canada. UK accents in general are more annoying and harder to understand. Esp. with your lingo

 

 

 

Lol @ your try to trash Canada though. This thread isn't about Canada :wink: Not to mention a good number of people you made fun of for eating "Kraft dinner" has English heritage :lol:

Fish and chips for a kickoff...

 

 

 

No other country in the world does takeaway food like the UK. Indians, chinese, chippys.. we have mastered the art. What do you americans have? Taco bell? dont make me laugh.. Drive thru? Pah! Its all about running down the street in your slippers, with a tenner in your hand.. and legging it home with 4 bags of god knows what from a chinese 10 minutes later.

 

 

 

ok... haggis, its british and its gorgeous.

 

 

 

The full english! Geez! how could i live without that?! Its godly.

Indians and Chinese people live in the US, probably more of them there than the UK

my bad on the assuming you were american thing... I never even bothered to look at your location however since im argueing for the UK vs the rest of the world the point still stands..

 

 

 

secondly.. It doesnt matter how many more chinese / indian people live in the US. the rest of the world has nowhere near as many random foreign food takeaways as the UK.

Ive just been on holiday in the US and their chinese takeaways are seriously poor.

[Barihawk]

I've lived in Britain.

 

 

 

My overall view of it is poor, because the nation has the worst attempt at Tex-Mex in the world. The salsa was COLD (should be room temperature) and the spice level was colder.

 

 

 

However, native British cuisine is amazing. Beautiful country, lots of museums. But tainted by the complete butchering of Tex-Mex. I made the mistake of saying "ya'll" when I went in. BIG MISTAKE.

Do you really rate the quality of a country by the quality of Tex-Mex? Dude, we never have it. Ever.

:lol: Ouch.

 

 

 

By the way, there is no proper term for a British accent, since it varies wildly and sometimes people from different sides of the island couldn't understand each other because of the accents, despite both speaking english.

 

 

 

Other than that, England is fun to live in, and has a lot more history than places like America or Canada.

 

 

 

EDIT: Oh, by the way, try the mushy peas.

[Faux]

Funny claim because Canada is more diverse than England

Some of the states in America are bigger than European countries and you going on a holiday makes you a professional on the topic?

 

 

 

Okay.

[Jaziek]

Oh, by the way, try the mushy peas.

 

 

 

oh yeah!! do any of you other countries have mushy peas?! I think this debate is over... english food wins.

The mushy peas are excellent.

 

 

 

But yes, there are no less than 20 Tex-Mex restaurants in London, alone. I've patronized all of them. Well, 19 of them. When the Welshman tried to mimic a Texan drawl, I just left.

[Bubsa]

Chinese and Indian food != English. And the food you listed isn't really "good food"

 

 

 

True, but Chinese Takeaways and Indian takeways etc. sre not Indian or Chinese Food. They taste totally different, a.k.a., a British influence.

 

 

 

That might be through grease and fat, but hey.

[Barihawk]

Same with American take-out, Bubsa. Chinese Stir-Fry was invented by a Chinese chef for American high school students in Sacremento.

 

 

 

And the Indian food here in Texas is 100 times spicier.

However, I think that British food there would taste terrible compared to the British food in Britain. You can only really enjoy the best out of recipies when they are made in their home country.

[Barihawk]

Not true, I've adapted many Irish recipes to include American ingredients and they taste great.

 

 

 

And I've even invented a few American style dishes that could be enjoyed anywhere at the same quality.
