Why is that?
I mean, you have excellent chocolate in Belgium. Beer in Germany. Wine and cheese in France. Oranges in Spain. Whatever you can think of in Italy and Greece. There's some damn fine food on the continent...and what do you have in London? Boiled everything.
No offense, 9sub, but the food in the UK sucks (with the occasional exception of the Irish).
The Italians... uh... pizza??? Lol.
Anyway, insult my country as much as you want. I don't feel patriotic. The only thing I like about the UK is that I can relate to everyone there. Every time I go to the US, I speak to someone, but at the back of my mind, I feel we are on a completley different plane of discussion. I just don't feel like I am the same species as them, its bizzare. Its not in a condescending way or anything like that, its just we're too far removed.
English food is OK, just not the stuff you taste. A full English breakfast, a full English roast, thats good stuff. Irish food, what??? I think that in the US you confuse Irish food for English food.
Also, Europe is wet. One big, wet blanket. Full of health and safety and tolerance laws, political correctness etc. Its a virus slowly taking over. Tony Blair, a few days before his resignation, signed a EU consutition basically making us every part of the EU apart from the Euro. We lost all our rights, everything that makes us a country, apart from our currency. Now, Brussels controls it all. I'm not a nationalist, but I want a gov that can control our own intrest rates for crying out loud.
Europe has some great countries, but as group, its a tosshole.
