Everytime I have traveled over there, everyone is helpfull, you can walk down any road, say hello to anyone and the reply you get is the most genuine I have ever got. Everyone there seems happy to help, are upbeat, and overall pleasant to be around - unlike here in England where everyone is frowning, fed up, overall fecked off with life.
Food over there is better, the selection is bigger and the costs are lower. I know this is the main cause for there overweight nation - but I have self control so loved it. Where else can you buy a 20oz steak, take one bite, say you dont like it and they take it back and swap it out for another because, and I quote from the fella who served me "Don't worry, if I paid $15 and got a crappy steak I would send it back as well"
15$ for a gawd darn 20oz t-bone steak - and thats expensive? Are you serious? What is wrong with out prices over here?
Next is petrol - needs no explaining, and there roads, while straight are smooth and easy riding while I worry sometimes I have dont internal injury on ours hitting some of the seemingly 1000 pot holes.
Next is the weather - they either get rain, or they get sun - a solid decision which I can respect by mothernature, but here, oooh noo, its not quote rain, and its not really hot, but its jsut enough to take the piss if you try to do something outside.
I want to work on the car in the week? Its dark at 3PM. I want to work at the weekend? Its raining. The one day its not raining? Its -6c.
Then comes the summer, amazing, I can put on a T-shirt.. for the whole 1 month it lasts, and then it rains again. Amazing.
Jobs I have no freaking idea, but I imagine its better if not at least the same as ours - you tried getting a job recently over here? Even supermarkets are getting picky..
House prices? Anyone on here thinking of selling, or thinking of buying I am sure know how impossible it is at the moment unless you have been saving for the past 5 years of your life - you can get a nice 4 bedroom house with loads of land for half the price of a one bedroom flat in london in America... =-/
Even the TV shows are better over there - take for example a fanny program like Come dine with me - over there everyone is complimenting each others food, are generally enjoying themself and noone really gives a crap about the reward, as long as they have a good time.
Over here its utter shit, middle age women moaning and whining, complaining about how there pork was uncooked, and how the house was 1c to cold, or that there peas are too hard... constant theme, everything american is happy and go lucky, everything here is depressing, spiteful and crap.
They say the British are the biggest moaners in the world... it really does not surprise me, this country sucks. We beat out the shitty 3rd world countrys but apart from that we suck hard.
