Brits.... U funny....

You have collectively mentioned pretty much everything bad about the US...


Crappy food, consumerism, unbridled capitalism, crime, cheap goods cheaply made, crappy bear….


You forget to mention our quaint way with language…

I am a US Citizen living in the UK with my Polish husband (both been here for years). We are in the process of applying for his green card so we can move to the States...

He can't believe me that we have ice/water dispensers in our freezers and self-cleaning ovens too. (These are 2 things I greatly miss... along with dishwashers and dryers not being considered luxury items)

I'm not suprised..... he's from Poland. A washing machine to them is throwing an epileptic in the bath with the laundry FFS.
You both need to go down to your local Curry's they have both of them in there too.

What???? I had self cleaning ovens for decades when I lived in the UK. Are you serious about dishwashers and dryers?

She wants a dishwasher and a self cleaning oven so probably not the most energetic of people. Probably ordered the Polak out to do the appliance shopping and was lucky he came back with something big and white.

One thing to keep in mind..... Except in the bigger cities we don't have much Indian curry stuff here... And malodorous smells are frowned upon in many Home Owners Associations

Seriously.
And weren't you recently warned about not dragging people's OH into it? Or was that another of the 'friendly' crowd?

Fair enough... I set myself up for that one!

Unless you are a multi-millionaire and live in Hampstead Heath, most flats in London are too tiny to accommodate a dryer/dishwasher
