SeanMcD 92 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) It's not until I moved abroad I fully realised what the UK has to offer. Clean skies and no pollution - even in the big cities High standard of living The NHS Clean, drinkable tap water A good climate - believe it or not it has. That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I could think of others. an the dole fuckn great Interesting opinion, isn't there anything else that makes you want to stay? No think that just about cover it apart from that strip of water between yous an us a lot more freedom to hunt on this side Edited May 9, 2012 by SeanMcD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I could think of others. Exactly, a lot is taken for granted and certainly by myself. I never fully appreciated how amazing fresh water from a tap is, or a flushing toilet until having to do without. But it's only when comparing to where else would be a better place to live that the UK seems to be pretty good indeed. I couldn't even live in America, with no NHS, religious nutjobs and lack of education. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No give me East London any day .....England has its problems but for people,character..............and Upton Park......this is the best place to be.

I was in San Francisco in January and it was definitely mixed up, one street can look really smart with gucci shops etc, go on street down and it is crawling with smackheads screaming at the walls. I got a bit lost looking for my colleagues at an 'Irish bar' and ended up walking about at night on my todd, I am not exactly danger mouse so I didn't feel particularly safe. It wasn't so much I thought I was going to be mugged by a scary gang man, it was just how crazy the hoardes of homeless addicts were, I thought they would trip balls and think I was Satan and bite me in the scrot or something. I was following one guy and was catching up, then he knelt down and kissed the floor (passionately) before screaming something inexplicable and punched himself in the face. I walked a bit slower.

Hob&Jill 258 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 All in all we can moan about England all we like but we had a pretty good roll of the dice if we are honest! We could have been born into Pakistan, North Korea, Somalia, Afghanistan, Scotland etc. HJ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
