  • an 'we've always done it this way' attitude
  • superficiality
  • lack of discussion of politics/philisophy/literature/music/arts
  • filthy shops and restaurants
  • odd ideas on what accessibility for people with disabilities is
  • rotten fruit and veg for sale, so having to pick through everything before you buy it.
  • architecture
  • mediocrity and proud of it
  • expensive cut flowers even in the summer
