The Best Country In The World

St Pancras is even better. Sculpture, a couple of pianos should tinkling the ivories take your fancy while waiting for a train, good bars, designer shops, high class eateries, five star hotel, the longest champagne bar in the world, next door to the British Library (home of the Magna Carta and the manuscript of the Canterbury Tales) and all contained within an iconic British Victorian design. Film location in the Harry Potter series, too.

Much too classy for a trainload of scruffy Mancs.

Harry Fucking Potter?
Dungeons and dragons for spoilt posh kids and geeks with no lives.
We have gritty urban realism, and estates where Shameless was filmed.
Scatter...

Sorry, don't watch any reality TV.

Apart from Made in Chelsea, obv.

It has underground trains, overground trains, commuter trains, inter city trains, international trains and toy trains. There's just so much damn choice.

There was a huge christmas tree up in December.

Made out of lego.


Because we can.

Gimme a closed platform and a tannoy announcer you can't understand any day of the week. rail isn't supposed to be about Lego trees and Piano's.

Oh we get that too - every second announcement is in bloody French.

I think it's basically embarrassment about where the trains go to (you know, Sheffield, Derby, Leicester). 'Pas Devant Les Domestiques' sort of thing.

If the servants can't go home, don't they then become one of you.

I'd imagine totes amazeballs and obv. don't sound the same in a northern accent

I'd agree with a lot of things on that list, although most are a matter of personal taste. I'd also throw into the bargain that we have one of, if not THE, most restrained police forces in the world. Police brutality is still very commonplace even in other western countries. This country is definitely one of the most civilised even if it isn't close to being the best. We also used to have one of the best legal systems in the world, although the tories are currently in the process of destroying it so perhaps it was right to leave it off the list.Some of the things in the list are very iffy though. Low crime. Not really, by western standards, we're bang average. Great opportunities? Not at all, along with the United States, Britain has the least amount of social mobility in the western world. Benefits, we're below average in the western world. The comparisons you make with those only hold true outside the western world. Additionally, our political system and our democracy are a fucking joke.

just how the fuck do you stand up straight with such a big chip on your shoulder

Just what the fuck does it have to do with you what an actual resident of this country thinks, when you demonstrated your unwavering patriotism by fucking off to some fly-blown South American shithole?
