It's really, really fucking annoying. There is no such thing as a British accent. There's umbrella accents such as Welsh, Scottish, English and Irish, but even they don't exist, because there are literally hundreds (possibly thousands) of regional accents.
Britain is good, but getting worse thanks to various reasons. I want to move to Sweden or some other decent country.
I think many of the complaints people level against any nationality can be found everywhere else too. No matter where you go, humans are humans and act like it.
People often have an unrealistically optimistic view of other places. When you go on holiday, it looks great: but that's because no-one goes on tourist trips to the miserable shithole areas, and people seem happy because you're paying them good money for good service. When you live somewhere you experience the warts as well, you generally find just as many people and things you like or hate.
Personally, I quite like Britain. Plenty going on, plenty of people to speak to, and if you do want to get away, most of Europe is a very short trip. I even like a bit of rain now and again.

I have to admit that I'm proud of Scotlands stereotype, makes us seem incredibly badass (Which is true)
My only problem with our country is that most people seem to think that British = English.
Yeah, its not like there's any Scottish, Welsh or Island dwellers around here...

You missed out the Welsh.D_987 said:
Someone can easily be British, but if they are British they cannot in fact really be Irish. Britain generally refers to the main body of land and includes England, Scotland and Wales (and some other little islands too).
I am English and British.
I feel the Britain is perhaps slipping. The Times said a while back that the optimal population for the country is around 20 million.
London on its own has around 9 million +.
Overall though I am proud to be British. The country does need some improvement though.
And Runar Sjögaard. Although I haven't heard much from him lately... But you never know.Psychosocial said:
Oh dear God the tabloids in this country are rediculous. The express garunteed will have a story about Princess Diana at least once a month. Most of them are so damn whimsical. Look at Jane Goody gah at first they wanted her blood then when she was dieing they acted like she was a saint the same with Micheal Jackson. Also the obssession with soaps is so silly. My father in law has a girl friend that scrounges off the state and watches the soaps all day, the once we caught here watching channel 0 which just shows adverts for virgin over and over and over again. Thats another thing the scroungers grr. I apologise for the rant, your post reminded me more of what i hate about England.Locque said:
Nope, there are something like 20 accents in the UK, and lots of variation among those, even though it is a tiny islanTheNamlessGuy said:
Holy shit! That should be stamped on everyones birth certificate born in the UK, I am even more British than the queen and I completely agree with you.Locque said:
Man, where the fuck do YOU live? Here in Texas our history classes make sure to point out America had no leg to stand on with its bitching (for those who may be unaware, the colonies HAD representation in parliament, it just couldn't vote. like all the other colonies. or puerto rico.)Nova5 said:
Oh, but wait, of course we'd point that out, what with our confederate history and right to secede when we wish.
Fuck it. I want a burger!
Back to yon compliment-fishing Brit: I find it amusing you can't spell the name of your supposed native soil. How odd.
scots and the irish, scots and the english, scots and other scots... Damned scots. They ruined scotland!"Kirahazard said:
I like Britain. 'Tis cool. Our society is stupidly afraid to say anything bad about the minorities though!
Plus London is shite, it really feels like a different country whenever I go there. All the teenagers in London talk as if someone is squeezing their balls with that rediculous chavvy accent (how the kids speak in Kidulthood and Adulthood movies). I think as well that the media portray the Government as idiots/bad at their job just because it is popular to do so.
