What embarrasses you about the UK??

[Ali2202]

Domestic Management and I were having a discussion about this last night. Our conclusions were (in no particular order really) -

The Weather
Cliff Richard
The failed Banking Sector
Politicians
Short lunches
Defined Tea Times
Litterers
Cliff Richard
Inability to speak anything other than English
The English
The Scottish
The Welsh
Cliff Richard


So what makes YOU cringe about this Country?

[Chrisw666]

People posting in the wrong forum.

[ewenm]

The amount of whinging about "the state of the UK".

[V88Dicky]

When posts get moved to other forums.

[V88Dicky]

Or when you think of a witty retort and get beaten to it!

[sinizter]

Nanny state and all its extensions - benefits, health and safety, some laws, etc

Common sense has made an exit.

[Captain Muppet]

All the the stupid people.

If they were somewhere else, or culled, the country (indeed any country) would be significantly nicer.

I can't think of anything I don't like which isn't entirely the result of stupid people.

[Ali2202]

Forgot to add...

Pedants opinions about what forum a thread should be in.

What forum should it be in anyway?

Brits on holiday abroad... You know the type... The sort that demand fish and chips in a local restaurant. The sort that complains because local music is playing on the radio. The sort that is generally annoying, and embarrassing.

The Benefit System - we have created an underclass of feckless no hopers.

In the words of George Carlin...
Did you ever notice that? How many really stupid people you run into during the day?
Goddam there's a lot of stupid bds walking around.
Carry a little pad and pencil with you. You'll wind up with thirty or forty names by the end of the day.
Look at it this way: Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize that half of them are stupider than that

[RicksAlfas]

Glum, miserable, moaning, cynical people.


And football.
Grrrrrrr.
