What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Poo trees
Litter piled high in the streets
Miserable people

Add to the list ;)

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

The length of winter ( I hate the cold!)

"litter piled high in the streets" ? I'm lost already Chris!:lol:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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

Chavs
Entitlement culture
Traffic

Can't think of much else.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

whinging poms that still live in Britain and those that live abroad that complain about Britain being crap

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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.

Custard slices, are they really made with custard?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

: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.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Brit's who moan about the country and tell us everywhere else is better.....yet they don't bugger off to one of those places

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

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!!!

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Tesco online :lol:

It's all going to come back up in the street later on.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Sounds like any Brisbane race meeting:lol:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Did you move to Australia because it's just like Britain then?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

None of your business:lol:

Are you still trolling this forum or is there the slightest chance you may grow a pair and move back one day:rolleyes:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

I never realized Britain was that bad that you 'had to grow a pair to move back to it' . Personally I don't think it's as bad as that.

You still in Australia?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

None of your business....are you still too scared to move or just want to troll on here?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

I'd love to say. "None of your business', but I really don't want to drop to that level.

Why would one be scared to move?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

That is just what you did tell me once.....so it looks as if I have dropped to yours.

You tell me.....why are you scared:confused:

....or is the moving back thing just an excuse to troll on here?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Source please.
I'm not, why use the word scared? Apprehensive most definitely, that's quite natural I would have thought. Scared is hiding behind a quote such as, "None of your business." when asked a civil question.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

CBA to be honest.....it was just one of the many times you were being evasive

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

So you made it up? tsk! tsk!

Never mind. I'll leave you with this thought. As you know, I'm a strong believer in due diligence. Never used to be, but that's the folly of youth. However, with the wisdom of experience and the wonderful benefit of hindsight, I now know that life changing decisions really do need carefully planning not just on how they affect you, but how the knock on affect can affect others who are close to you.

It's with that in mind that I engage in MBTTUK.

By applying due diligence to your decision making you may not now be stuck in Australia pinning for Englands' green and pleasant land.

We can all learn from others mistakes as well as our own.

Have a safe night and I hope your dreams of a return to the UK happen sooner rather than later.

BTW. When did you realize Australia was not for you?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

What are you on about?.....I am not pining for anywhere.....I live between the two countries.....haven't you worked that out yet?

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Gordon Bennett!!:eek:

Oh well, perhaps this will leave the 'UK really that bad' thread at just 76 pages.

Every cloud.....

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Britain is not of course completely crap, it actually isnt even a little bit crap. It does have many problems that it shares with virtually every other country in the world even *shock horror* Australia :D
There are a couple in this section of the forum who are apparently just trying to offer a bit of balance, it is very clear to all of us I think what their motivation is and they arent kidding anyone. Whatever makes them (un)happy really.

:rofl:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Thanks for clarifying! I would be inclined to say it takes more effort to tie said poo bag to the branch of a tree than it is to just put it in the bin.

The "poo trees" in discussion are a lot more hygienic than I had in mind. I had images in my head of chav's squatting high up in trees ready to do their business on any functioning members of society, for example those with jobs :eek:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

They don't tie them, they just throw them up - they are usually way up in the tops of the trees.

Local initiative involves spray-painting poo piles that haven't been picked up, to "raise awareness" of the problem. 76 piles of poo around the children's play area. Disgusting, lazy people give responsible dog-owners a bad name. :thumbdown:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

People constantly moaning! It is really a downside to living here. We never appreciate what we have when we really don't know how lucky we are.

Sick of people moaning about the wet already. We have had a gorgeous long hot summer and it's been drizzly for a few days. OMG people, stop it! :lol:

We are lucky we don't have to deal with mud slides, hurricanes, major earthquakes, Tsunami's, volcanoes, wild fires, etc, etc....

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

:D I have no first hand experience of these poo trees to be honest but others seemingly have to regularly dodge them on a daily basis.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Never seen any either. There's very little dog poo on the pavements round here, maybe it's all the wet weather that flushes it away..:rofl:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

I cant see the dog poo for the litter and burnt out cars to be honest :D

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

True, round here they are the only road obstacles, forget driving them to an isolated area and torching them, just leave them on the nearest car park. :lol:

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

You're lucky, around here people are too poor to be able to burn cars.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

The lazy don't 'sign on' as that would entail them going to the job centre and also being put on the work programmes. The lazy just live off their childrens welfare money - much less effort.

Re: What makes Britain completely crap?
 

Or DNA?
a council in Lancashire became the first in the UK to look at using dog DNA to punish owners for the messy problem.
