haha they should have shown the rows of counsil estates and london gangs. more like the real side of britain americans dont show, they just glamourise it because they stereotype us as being posh. :')
Firstly this is a British promotional ad, not an American perception. Secondly, no one is disputing there are problems- but there is crime in every major city on earth. Should French tourism officials show the banlieues of Paris? And the ad doesn't show anything about being 'posh' - its showing our cosmopolitan cities and beautiful landscapes. Stop being so cynical and see the bigger picture.
Great Britain being the greater or the largest of the British Isles comprising of England, Scotland and Wales. Good advert with a cracking song. Not a true reflection of GB though as it is full of ethnics!
I agree with you about the good song etc but im intrigued by your comment 'not a good reflection of GB though as its full of ethnics'.... ethnics? if you are referring to ethnic minority people, I think you will find that a significant majority of the UK (well over 80%) is still 'white British'.... our diverse society is reflected by our imperial past. In my opinion diversity is a good thing, provided its matched with integration.
Britain is another word for United Kingdom .. thus Englands Kingdom and Scotlands Kingdom and Wales Kingdom are being united.. their all different like how america has its states but their all called "America" like how we are all called Britian because all our Kingdoms are in an alliance..
@ellis150 No you are wrong. Britain is the island of Scotland, Wales and England.
The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which is why it says on my passport: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

@ShitMovies2000 no you are a moron. your probably one of those americans that have never left your own country and think you know everything. you obviously don't because britain is not a country dumb ass
@ShitMovies2000 You are wrong. Britain is not a country. It is an island that is built up of the nations Scotland, Wales and England. The UK is a soveriegn state that built up of the countries England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Please educate yourself and learn the difference. People get this wrong all the time and it is very anoying, especially as you claim to be from here yourself.
I'd be interested to know what is your definition of 'strong'
Maybe you would prefer Mubarak's Egypt? Or Karimovs Uzbekistan? Or maybe Zimbabwe under Mugabe.
There are hundreds of videos showing the negative aspects of this country. And you are trying to slur this positive one. If you refuse to look at any positive aspects of the UK, then kindly stop whinging and fuck off.
@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Do you want to explain to everyone why your friends with antifa (A marxist orginistation that proactivly supports the RIRA ,HAMAS,and other terrorist groups!
I knew you was a fuckin wrongun and I have know been proved right! I wont bother replying so dont bother posting ,
Yeah they are diverse and im sure wonderful ...let me guess you live in a converted Barn , possably in Surrey/the coatswolds and both of your kids are privatey educated! , oh and you read the Gaurdian!
Wrong on all counts; I have predominately lived in urban areas including a tough housing estate in Sunderland and in the West Midlands; the 2nd most populous conurbation after London. My print of choice happens to be The Times/Inde... as a centrist The Guardian is too left for me (sorry to disapoint you)... just because we are concentrating on the positive doesn't mean we are ignoring the negative. I love this country and wish whingers like you would offer something productive
It clearly shows London alot and even the Bull Ring, it shows the countryside because of the Eden Project in Cornwall, Shakespeare's house in Stratford showing our history. I think it's a brilliant advert.
@theblackmafia71 STILL SPOUTING HATE I SEE :-) WELL THEN ARSEWIPE ONCE AGAIN IVE CALLED YOU A WANK ALL OVER YOUTUBE AND THIS IS YOUR BIG BAD COME BACK ???? :-)
This is a tourism video. You can point out negative things about ANY country... yes those things exist, but why the hell would we promote them to tourists... you don't see the French tourism board showing banlieues do you? You don't see the Greek tourism board promoting the fact Athens is heavily polluted.
Maybe you WANT islamists to get all the attention. This country is so much more than the depressing list you have compiled. There are plenty of videos for those things.
@goatcheese2 I lived in Oz for a few years and I can tell you most people are not sitting on the beach with a beer in hand throwing shrimps on the barbie most of the time and it is not always sunny and warm, but the ads will tell you different story. But that's what they're meant to do, show the country they're selling in the best light.
Love this country ^^ x everyplace in the world is different so to the people who slag of britain all the time (who are mainly british people themselves) : SHUT the F*CK UP! Bloody hell just cz your life's a little sad, don't mean you gotta give everyone else a bad time...
Like anyother country: you either like it or not. Not everyplace has to be da same :) e.g. HOT, SUNNY, PALM TREES... enjoy somin different that you don't see very often :) e.g. CASTLES x
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
don't pity yourself for not having a happy sunny day in the city......why not visit ASEAN countries then...for a complete sunny Asian relaxation, where everyday is summer getaway....!!! try it
ok! this is soooo cheesey! and the song is a bad choice?! when do we ever get sun! exept in EVERY clip on this video! lmao! I pity anyone that visits here after seeing that! x
agreed! I am from Scotland and have lived in Australia and NZ. It is true what they saym the grass is always greener on the other side, and from the other side, the UK is awesome!
I lived in Australia too but returned to the UK 6 months ago. I much prefer the UK. It has more history, the music scene is FAR better, the nightlife is superior. It's just a much more interesting and exciting place to live. The beer is in a different league too ;-)
100% agree. As much as I love NZ and AUS, the UK cannot be beaten when it comes to culture. The proximity to Europe and North America is also a bonus.
I hate to hear about these sad negative Brits, no wonder people think the UK is dull and boring, its these clowns that make it seem that way!...
PaintedSilence- Well presumably this is from the tourism board to encourage visitors- and it happens to be available to see here. I don't really know;
BritainTravel- I don't follow....... surely tourism has importance in most countries and the UK is no different. Tourism isn't a key industry here but in certain regions (ie the Lake District) it is important.
I love this ad- its modern, lively, the music carries great vibe and it shows some of the beautiful scenery of our countryside and our cosmopolitan and lively cities
its funny, i have been to alot of the places on here.
they ARE great actually.
and also, when the woman is in the seafront harbour town at the start, its filmed in 3 different locations ha! i have been to all three; Porthleven,first...Looe, second, and polperro beach with the dog.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
britian are the best we won world war 1 and 2 so every other country sucks ha (except america they rule as well) as i was saying britian rules so go to hell
@gognub Dont brag, its a very nice place to live but i dont beleive that there is any country better than another. Great Britain may have won two wars, as you previously said, but without help from almost every other country we wouldnt have stood a chance. Dont get me wrong, i am really rather patriotic myself, but for a kingdom that previously owned a vast majority of the world; descovered and set up many countries ( ie America), we did loose everything very quickly...
If Britain was only really like this. Haha the advert forgot the mention, the scum of the earth, chavs, and how you're more likely to get robbed than a smile in London centre.
Forget the modern cities. The old cities, countryside & history make this the greatest nation there is.
