I miss those two things the most.
Once the weather cools, you'll find plenty of places where you can sit outside and drink. Some are quite pleasant as well. |

You can get The Sunday Times here, or the International version at least which basically gives you the best bits. Or read the UK versions on a iPad. next best thing; in fact better as no paper to get rid of afterwards.

The pub. An institution like no other. I sorely miss lazy days in this particular pub during my stint in Huddersfield. 18 hand pulled ales on constant rotation, 200+ different beers on bottle, and numerous European beers on draught. Probably the best den of inequity I ever visited, beer wise. The snack menu was equally as impressive. |

I know plenty of people in the UK who would explain how they feel like this because of the cultural and later financial destruction wrought by the English, particularly those from the South-East.

Just as it says. There are several groups in the UK who would claim the English have tried to diminish their local culture. Who complain they no longer hear their own language in the streets because it has been replaced by English.

Quite right about the dominance over the Welsh, Scots, Irish etc...but we've seen official attempts to reverse that or at least make the older languages of the British Isles available to people who live in those parts and want to learn them which is fantastic. If we ever had a written constitution I'd definitely support a clause stating English is the language of government and commerce but all the Gaelic languages are also officially recognised and should be taught in school in the Celtic parts and perhaps be options for schools in England too...there's plenty of Celtic/Saxon mix people who are interested in that sort of thing.

I come from the South East don't you know. I'm not saying all of the South East is like that. I did live in London for a while ;) |
