The crazy drinking culture, drunks taking up valuable NHS resources, puking and urinating in the streets.

Nothing makes it "completely" crap, but the following make it "somewhat" crap:

Chavs
Entitlement culture
Traffic

Can't think of much else.

Narrow streets full of parked cars and traffic having to try and squeeze through.

Decrepit buildings which need a lot of TLC.

Very wet weather and insufficient bus shelters.

People who think that driving 200 miles is a long way.

:sarcasm: ??

I don't think Britain is "crap". I didn't move away due to the above. Although even when I was in the UK I didn't experience any of the above. Just out of interest - what is a "poo tree?" Or do I not want to know!?

I moved away to give me the opportunity to progress in my career in a way that the UK cannot provide for me at the moment. And own a home in a country where I can have the lifestyle I desire. Simples.

Poo trees are everywhere, they can in fact be any species of tree and they are adorned with numerous bags of dog poo placed there by lazy dog owners. They are alledgedly commonplace.
Dont kid yourself, Britain is finished, gone to the dogs, down the drain, all washed up, not as good as Germany. And the custard slices, whats the deal with the custard slices?

People, all over the place. Crowds. Rules. :o

Which reminds me... are there rules about not putting bags of dog poo in the bin? Or are people who dump their bags of poo just lazy?

I hear they throw the bags into the trees. It's the only form of physical exercise people do there, apart from signing on.

Hang on a minute!....do you really think that carting all those ready made meals from the supermarket to the car does not require a little effort?

Give me the dog poo any day over vile drunk humans acting like savages in the streets - throwing up/puking as someone said earlier - and urinating. Totally disgusting!!!
