Chavs
Music aka X-factor rubbish
Weather
Government
Reality TV shows
British dramas, crime or pretty much most british TV
Tax esp since they are in talks to change it so you pay more for sugary items to cut down on people gaining weight. Once again those who exercise regularly, keep healthy who can eat what they like have to pay more because someone doesn't exercise.
I could go on.... |

"the music spawned from X-Factor
+1"
Gotta agree with this. From like September to Xmas, the charts are dominated by X-factor. Then they go do covers of amazing songs and ruin it.
Leona lewis - nine inch nails/JohnnyCash hurt
Whoeva did Googoodolls Iris and so on. |

X-factor (everything about it)
Government and spending cuts.
Disrespectful kids and teenagers (which isn't just the chavs)
Lack of authority and lack of people who are just quite simply law abiding.
Nightclubs full of teenagers.
The list goes on.... |

What I hate about Britain is - the people who keep banging on about overweight people, and the money it costs the NHS, what about the smokers, and the money it costs the NHS to treat cancer and other related diseases smoking causes.
Ok, rant over now... daresay I will get backlash from saying this, but I don't care, it just gets my back up.

I long for those days again. Cracked earth due to weeks and weeks of unbroken sunshine. Bike rides in the countryside without having to carry warm weather clothing 'just in case'. |

Sorry it wasn't meant to be disrespectful to anyone, I have total respect for any past, current or future armed forces members and have serving family members. But there is a certain arrogance by some in this country that still thinks we rule the world, those times are long gone x |

I am not a reformed smoker, most of my friends still smoke, if anyone wants to smoke, then that's up to them, I just hate all the crap that people say about overweight people and how much they cost the NHS and no one says a jot about smokers, which is just as damaging to your health as obesity is.

The fact we've created a whole class of people who think it's acceptable to live off the state rather than get of their Jeremy Kyle watching arsed and work like the rest of us!
The ever increasing compensation culture that's grows daily and the constant bombardment of adverts seeking to make money from ambulance chasing, accidents (if there's no blame - should be no claim!) and encouraging people to think they're entitled to sue anyone and everyone!
Payday lenders - nothing more than legal loan sharks preying on the vulnerable.
Fuel prices! How come were not protesting anymore????
The list - sadly - grows longer daily! Right - enough ranting for a Friday - looking forward to that great British pastime of skiving off early on a Friday! See - it's not all bad! Lol |

The weather.
Rip-off Britain with sky high prices for fuel, gas, food and housing.
The Con-Dem govt.
The cuts.
Chav scum in baseball hats and hoodies.
The mean-spirit that has descended on to this nation turning many groups into scapegoats.
Premiership football with sky high prices and astronomical wages.
....and people who moan |

somkers, drinkers, over weight people all cost the HNS millions every year but most people who fit into these categories work and pay into the NHS system, the tax man does not say.....oh keep your tax your a smoker does he? there for if we get smoking related illnesses why should'nt we get back health care that we have paid into all our working lifes? isnt that what we pay into it for?  |

"The cult of celebrity
The lack of respect for intellectual accomplishment
Pulling ppl down when they do well
"
As the kind of people who don't respect intellectual accomplishment are usually the kind of people who are incapable of it, what they think (if indeed anything remotely resembling a thought has ever passed through their very small brains) is surely of inconceivably small importance! |

The rigid class system and the hypocrisy that goes with it . The gap between rich and poor. Little Englanders who can't get it into their very small heads that the Empire no longer exists .People who constantly complain about people on benefits and yet bow and scrape to the Royal Family, the biggest parasites in the country. Daily Mail readers with their handful of O Levels who think they know everything and actually know very little. Sun readers who say "I'm not racist but...."

to the OP....it may have been quicker and easier to read if you posted "what do you all like about the uk?" lol i agree with most of the replies in this forum, hence my future attempts at getting out of here. but who knows if it's a case of "the grass isn't always greener" :s x |
