I don't want to dislike it but at the moment I do.. 
Only a week more to go though.

Sometimes when I have visited Blighty I have hated it, mainly the weather, traffic etc. then othertimes I've loved it. Gotta say though apart from the first couple of years I've always looked forward to getting on the plane to come home.

Oh, and just chill - if your mates are being a bit wanky so be it and maybe you have to sit down and evaluate things once your trip is over but no point in rowing with them now - if you go back to LA after that you may never speak to them again and no matter how pissed you are now you'd prob regret it in the long run.

pubs..boring and stink of fags..
town centre.. I do laugh at the chavs but that doesn't get rid of them..
shop assistants, at least in the US they're helpful rather than the miserable ****ers in the UK..
countryside, missing your point a bit there, the US has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world..
and your last point I have no idea whatsoever what you're on about..

My last point - I just thought that you sounded thoroughly hacked off. Don't be falling out with anyone before you leave - it can be hard to make up when you're 4000 miles away - that's all.
Oh, and if you have some sausage rolls and cream buns you can walk the fat off by taking a walk in the country - sorted

depends how close to the city you want to be
realistically anywhere from 150k upwards
no snow in winter (or very little) i've been here three years and the weather is great, you get 4 proper seasons. june and july are a bit humid, but less than chicago or florida
also, no state income tax and peroperty tax is reasonable
