They failed to consider that increasing the amount of drinking time would just lead to drinking more alcohol.
To be fair efforts are being made to reduce the amount of hours that they can buy alcohol but the damage has long since been done. Britain is
the binge-drinking capital of Europe, with 12 per cent of the population
admitting they have up to ten drinks in a single night out. This along
with the supposed 1 million violent crimes committed due to alcohol per
year and the 25% increase in liver diseases, suggests they can’t handle thier drink either.
No wonder the rest of the world think the Brits live in castles and
pop round the Queens house for tea. Only the stupidly rich can afford to
buy stuff on that island of theirs and still have enough change to buy
all that **** liquor. The cost of gadgets for example cost 32% more in
Britain than America and this is one of the reasons why they are all up to their eyeballs in credit card debt.
3. The weather
I’m not going to harp on about how much it rains over there as I think
anyone with half an eye and a quarter of a brain will already know
this. My major gripe is that the weather has no idea what it is doing.
One minute it will be sunny and calm and 10 minutes later there will be
torrential rain, closely followed by hailstones and then back to sunny
again.
You can chuck a rainbow and some snow in there too if you want. It happens, I’ve seen it!
Of course this is something that cannot be changed due to the
geographical location and the jet stream from the Atlantic. The irony is
that without it, their pathetic little land would be genuinely cold instead of a
bit chilly, and yes their weather would be more stable but if you think they
moan about the weather now, imagine the misery if they didn’t get our
three days of summer.
4. Chavs
If you aren’t from the UK and you have no idea what a Chav is then look below.
You see that? They are Chavs and I don’t like them. I don’t even know
if the term ‘Chav’ should be or deserves to be capitalised. Well there
is no point changing now, I don’t want to be labelled as indecisive as
well as a moaner.
They loiter on street corners wearing their fake Burberry clothing
intimidating old people and the confused. If you’re extra lucky you
might even see one of them with their socks pulled up over their
tracksuit bottoms.
I remember passing through a
big group of them, maybe 15 or so. They were stood there doing their
thing, which is pretty much just staring at the floor occasionally
spitting and saying the word ‘blud’. As I walked by, one of them turned
to me, and as I braced myself for the inevitable beating, said these
fine words;
“ha nice clothes”.
A teenage boy with socks pulled halfway up his legs was mocking the
fact I wore jeans and a plain white t shirt. I’m not entirely sure if I
can be part of a society where this is allowed to happen.
Oh if you’re American I suppose the closest thing to a Chav here is what you would call a redneck or trailer trash, but with you
know, the sock thing.
5. Health and safety gone mad
Being part of the European Union has many benefits I’m sure. When I think of some I will let you know about it. One of the many
drawbacks is that their health and safety laws become OUR health and
safety laws. The problem being that these are not created for the
purpose of improving our health and our safety, but for annoying the
**** out of everyone and causing immense frustration.
In February 2012 a drowning man couldn’t be saved because, and get
this, the Fire-fighters and police on scene were not allowed to attempt a
rescue. Now this wasn’t some rough stretch of coastline or a pool of
water with the depth of infinity, but simply a lake that was 3ft deep.
THREE FEET!
This country allowed a man to die because of the health and safety
law. What would have happened had one of these people tried to save him?
They would probably lose their job. Madness.
6. British are generally ignorant towards other cultures.
I wish I could see the stats for how many British people can speak
another language as I’m fairly certain the number would be somewhere
between 4 and 9. Compare this to Sweden or Germany where a large portion
of the younger population has achieved a decent level of fluency in
English. Now I know many of you will say something like, “yes but you
don’t need to speak another language as English is spoken around the
world”. It is you’re right, to an extent.
Most will actually travel to places like Japan and Brazil and genuinely
find it weird that almost nobody speaks English, at least to a fluent
level.
7. The British hate themselves.
It’s true. The north and south hate each other, the Scottish hate the
English, the Welsh hate the English and the English hate everyone else.
This is even before we get into city rivalries and the racial tension.
Okay maybe hate is a strong word and I might be going all ‘Daily Mail’
on you here so replace the word ‘hate’ with ‘gently mocking’. Yes that
sounds better.
Regional rivalries are common all over the globe and in the UK they
are largely
