I am a Briton of Pakistani descent and hate those who like the British. Why do Americans, especially those who are white, like Britain so much when the country is populated by pufters and atheists?
I live in the North of England and my favourite thing is that we have one the greatest sense of humour.
I mean in Britain you can insult your friends constantly and it's all fun and games because we don't often take it seriously. Also you learn to hold your own in arguments and fights.
And most of all...... the Geordie accent. Can you think of a better tool to use in any situation outside of the country? my Uncle scared of three foreigners trying to mug us just with his voice. Can you beat that?
Well 98% of this country ( U.K) we don't believe in God so there is no Laws that are directly from the Bible ( as in the U.S. legislation) . if you go to London you will be told NOT to go to the North of England. The North has the best nightlife, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, and Manchester are probably the best in England. Guns are illegal. you can support whatever party you want and not get jailed . I thank you
hey my moms surname is jones and i beleive we may have some british decendents. her grandfather is white american and his surname is jones. it is a popular surname as well on the east coast of the united states and i am actually from florida wich is a south eastern state. so could i possibly british. i hope so because i love britain as well.
Erm I like that our accents are weired especially where I'm from coz we don't say 'I'm going to the shop' we say 'am off t`shop' there is no such word as `the`
To be honest I don't really like anything that's traditional for a 'British' person, like myself, to like. No I don't like tea, no I am not posh and Marry Poppins is one of the most rubbish movies I have ever seen . If you go to a place like Surrey (it may be rich but it really isn't that posh) It's nice. I guess if I had to choose one thing it would be our TV! What's your main channel in America? Ours is BBC 1. At the moment it is hot! (well for us anyway! and in April!)
Fish and Chips Music NHS BBC London Stratford Upon Avon The Lake District Scotland (avoid Glasgow) Welsh castles The Royal Family (mostly due to history) The English language Our Armed forces Our driving (on the left) Drinking tea Free museums (where available) Anglo-American history stretching back from 1776 to the Normans, the Saxons, the Celts and the Romans. A history that puts us at the heart of Europe and even to Greek based democracy and of course Judo-Christian values.
I'm from Belfast, So I'm technically British, but of course when i say That I get threatened. Britian as a whole isn't that great, it's basically how America was in the late 90's, but with the same fashion and problems, oh and there's chavs. Lots and Lots of Chavs.
best things about being english : alton towers, thorpe park, how we have regional accents (not just one) tv programmes (Inbetweeners!!), humour, sports and commitment to our teams. :D
I love the way we brought out a book called "Crap Towns", and then had to bring out a second book entitled "Crap Towns 2" because so many people had complained that their town wasn't in it.
Seriously, if scientists could harness the power of British Complaining, we'd be set for life! "Bloody light's out again.... Oh, it's back on now!"
@nawbdbest sorry for bombarding your comment area here, but that was a harsh accusation.
I'd go on about England's morning TV programs, but you say you're gonna go there.
So, when you ask yourself "Why the TV programs are so stupid?", go back to my original comment where i mention how the majority of people in England have the mentality of cows.
This is not so much an insult than the reality that you will find when you get there.
@rosstcorbett . then take a closer look at the travelling aspect in order to make your judgment.
When the Swedes, Germans, Danes, Dutch and French travel Europe, they usually travel with loads of money, spending it, living it up in fancy hotels, and leaving the country with complete dignity.
With the English, its another story.... pan-handling, sleeping on benches.
Like it or not, the English are the bums of Europe.
What other city than London has a cardboard city?
@justcallmejoe - We could go on talking all day long but there is no way you have been to England, your are just one of these nobodies who goes around the internet preaching about things you know nothing about! And coming from a Canadian :) Don't make me laugh! :)
@justcallmejoe for further noticed id like you to refrain from saying England is in Europe it is not we merely tolerated Europe like like a prostitute tolerates herpes honestly the last time i was in France i was shocked at how many Arabs there were over 10 million of the bastards according to wikipedia soon the mainland is going to be over run with the fuckers and will have Sharia Law forced upon them .
some 20,000 people in London are living in temporary accomodation and are classed as homeless. This does not include people living in bed and breakfast or squats.
a street count conducted in 1991 found 1,275 people sleeping rough in London.
in May 2000 a street count held one night found 436 people sleeping rough in 10 inner London boroughs.
an estimated 1,180 people sleep rough in England every night.
@justcallmejoe What a load of rubbish! I can understand you not liking Leeds but the rest of it is just laughable. Britain is one of the most advanced countries on earth, if you really lived in England you would know this which is making me wonder if you have ever been at all. I think I can smell a liar in the room :)
@rosstcorbett The average englishman really doesn't have much to live for other than a pint on a friday night...its very depressing when you see how better off people are living elsewhere.
The english remain in this self delusion of pride for their tyrant nation.
On a positive note, Landbrokes and William Hill serve to be two of the best gambling houses i've ever set my eyes on.....If you're a gambling man, england is definitely your place, there are gambling shops all over the city.
Britain really isnt all that good :/ i guess if you go up to newcastle you would have alot of fun if you mixed with the people and some area's of london are brilliant but otherwise theres not alot here
I was actually born in London haha.... I'm not even part American... My mother was the only person in her family not born in Germany, because her family came over to USA before she was born, but her older siblings were born in Germany, and my dad is British... I know, weird mix.

I'm in Toronto Canada, but i spent 13 years in Europe, including 9 months in England(Leeds and London).
I hate to disappoint you, but England is without competition, the worst country in the European union, to live in or visit.
One might think its more advanced than other countries, but in fact it hasn't really come out of the dark ages.
The majority of people are in the mental state of cows.
I know i might sound like i'm hating, but I'm seriously being as honest as i possibly can.
Sorry.

@rosstcorbett Advanced? in what way exactly?
In the way that you still have machines in the wall, where you put 50p coins in order to get half an hour of electricity?
The monetary system in England is about the least advanced world-wide when you look at the numbers.
That's why the media constantly pumps out images of children starving in Ethiopia, to show the English how well off they are.
Leeds was my favorite place in England, so yeah.
