Sum up GREAT BRITAIN...
Taking Backhomeatlast's lead on this, we have a 'sum up Australia' thread so why not a 'sum up GREAT BRITAIN' thread.
So lets hear it folks anything that sums up our beloved Isle, good and bad, warts and all. We can take criticism, we're British....:) |

Re: Sum up GREAT BRITAIN...
The first and foremost thing you've got to remember about Britain is that it's cold and wet and dank and everyone spends fifty weeks of the year huddled around the fireside. Look at those PATHETIC crowds for the Premier League & the first round of the Six Nations and tonight's England v Switzerland game at Wembley.
The second important fact is that Britain is covered in concrete and what little remains of the countryside is at least two hours drive so even if you wanted to walk or cycle or swim (there are no beaches of course and the sea is too polluted anyway) you'd spend so much time getting there, you'd only have a half hour of daylight to do it in. The third important fact is that Britain has barely recovered from WW2 rationing and it's so expensive that nobody can afford to buy new cars/TV/go on holiday abroad anyway. The fourth important fact is that Britons have no sense of humour and in no circumstances are able to laugh at themselves. I'm sorry if the truth hurts but it's got to be said. Dave |

Dave I think I have said this before but hey ho, still applies... men are from Mars, women are from Venus and you speak from Uranus. |

Dave there is plenty countryside in britain green grass not yellow hard burnt stuff that you cant sit on, as for brits dont travel abroad is a load of rubbish i think british are very well travelled much more so than aussie's ive came across many who have never left oz sad but true. Britain is in no way more expensive that australia i think its getting very expensive here petrol is still cheaper but i would say that the cost of living is the same. As for the british sense of humour i love it you just have to watch any britsh sitcom to see to name a few fools and horses, shameless, little britain much better than bloody kath and kim or the wedge!! hey but its not perfect but either is oz! |
