My child, raised in Toronto, emigrated to Tower Hamlets. I saw her the other week, which is rare because, starting in London, you can go to all kinds of places cheaply, so she's almost never home. She was delighted with all the excitement they have in the big city and, curiously, said nothing about the streets being paved with dog shit.

you know you are in the UK when some ex-pats having returned back take offense when others not in the UK make comments about what is wrong with it.
And maybe that's why those returned ex-pats love the UK so much to appreciate having left & are back that they know which side of the fence the grass is greener.....

Smoking was just seen as 'normal' amazingly even in restaurants, cafes and in planes. There wasnt much point complaing as it was legal and seemingly accepted. It wasnt until we became more enlightened that people started seeing sense.

when council house tenants are forever complaining about the bedroom tax as they fall behind in rent, then get a notice of eviction

You know you're in the UK when you attempt to make a doctors appointment for a 3 year old who really needs to see a doctor and you get told the earliest available appointment is 2 weeks away.

Well our neighbour does feed the dog when we are away and takes him for a couple of walks a day. I love village life
