Things that are great about Britain

[crofty1984]

Right, we've had enough threads on Winky, Chavs, Crime, Eyeliner on men.

I'm moving back to the UK in two weeks. I'm a bit sad to be leaving Italy obviously, as well as being made redundant, losing my flat and the life I've spent the last year and a half building up for myself and am moving back to my parents house with a few guitars and a big TV to my name.

I'm focussing on being happy to be going back home rather than being sad to leave here, so tell me why the UK is amazing!

I'll start:
Cheap cars
Variety of food choice
The countryside (OK not quite the Alps, but it's still beautiful)
A few of my really close friends
Cheap booze
The possibility of eventually having a house with a garage
Club racing

Villages play each other at Cricket on long summer evenings.

Really? Or have you been watching a lot of Jeeves and Wooster recently (like I have!)?

JTW's post about the spelling of ambulance and dumbing down, that is pure class

And of course, finally getting to a proper PH meet/Sunday service!
Maybe I should bring a cheap hooker for V8mate, cheer him up

So no mortgage and no responsibilities to cater for then?

You Sir, have NO class.

compared to New Zealand: cheaper cars (but people don't bin them when they get old here), cheaper food especially at supermarkets, proper marmite, online shopping and good crisp selections. Erm, that is honestly all i can think of

OOOOH! Seabrook crisps! You can take your bolognese and vaffanculo.
