Things other countries do better than the UK
Discussion
On a trip to Finland for this year's holiday and have come across a few things I think that the Fins do better than the UK, that we should at least have the option of adopting here.
A simple above sink dish drainer, absolute genius:
And a shower for your nether regions, especially useful after a particularly heavy night on the Guinness:
Have you any other examples of things other countries seem to do better than the UK?

Right turn on red lights in the US. Obviously we'd have to adapt that slightly for the UK.
Good idea in principle, however over here it would fry too many brains, same with being allowed to pass on the nearside on a motorway as opposed to keeping left; which very few actually do. thepeoplespal said:

Does it have some kind of blower to blow the waste water towards the sink? Is the washing up liquid kept on the sink with velcro? Sink top magnetic?A simple above sink dish drainer, absolute genius:

In the UK we would put the sink 90° to that, I feel our system is better.
Whilst the UK does many things better than other Countries, there are several things that are 'better' abroad, such as:
Free University/College tuition; several Countries in Europe. However the UK has better Universities overall apart from the USA, which leads in this regard but is also very expensive.
Denmark provides free child care.
Finland has arguably a better education system.
Food generally is better in many other countries. Yes, subjective, but for me personally, the UK is hardly a culinary powerhouse. Generally very average.
Germany is a better industrial nation - albeit the UK isn't shabby itself.
Tourists...while every country's tourists behave differently, British tourists are amongst the worst sadly. In the countries Brits visit the most, they have entire towns that are 'no-go' zones for anyone wanting to avoid rowdy, uncouth and generally unpleasant British tourists who binge-drink and lose control.
Weather...the UK sucks at it.

Lol, did try to get this in the UK when we were doing an extension a couple of years ago, but neither version was easily available.In the UK we would put the sink 90° to that, I feel our system is better.
