Things you hate about the UK

The "your opinion offends me so you should change your opinion" brigade that seem to think it is part of our natural culture/law.

We all have the right to be offended and we all have the right to not give a fuck if someones offended.
 
In general we live in a lovely country.
Just don't notice it as much and find disturbances as we are here more often.

House Prices.
Major reason I'll probably fuck off abroad in years to come. Just can't afford my own place (unless I go on benefits and become a thieving crack head)

Rat Race Culture.
Seems we rush too much over here. People wanting everything instant, with many people rushing around.
Example being the binge drink culture.
Abroad we can relax all day and sup a drink, enjoy the peace and be chilled.
Over here we all rush to the bars, chuck the booze down our necks as fast as possible like some drinking competition, then scavenge at the kebab house just before a scrap outside the takeaway.
Give me a nice, relaxing stoner cafe culture any day of the week :)

Branded Clothing.
The amount of people plastered with advertising all over themselves promoting some companies and actually paying to do so.
£200 or whatever for some Nike Air Max which instantly makes you look like a chavvy ****.
£700 on a Michael Kors handbag which cost £3.50 to produce in Taiwan.
And the girls buying these bags look like Ooompa Loompas with their fake tans and fat asses.

Obesity.
I can understand medically and sympathise with those who are medically obese but for many if you put them on a remote island they'd soon lose all that weight . excessiveness to the extreme.

Shut Down Time.
I prefer 24hr cultures, as it seems people then don't rush as much to get things done.
So if more bars/restaurants/public transport and so on was 24/7 society for me would be happier.
London is 24hrs and many parts of Manchester is but not all such as transport.

Agree almost 100% with almost all of except that in bold. Science shows that we should preferably be awake during the day, and asleep at night. Furthermore, I think there would be more crime in a 24 hour society. I think nature needs to rest at night too.
 
Yeah, went there on holiday once.
Really enjoyed it.
Always like to come back to the UK though,just a pity it's not a republic.
Now jog on.

You hate the UK as it works perfectly well as a liberal and tolerant society, which offers a lot of opportunity to it's inhabitants, yet it's not socialist and you can't understand why it works so well.

Yes there will be minor tweaks needed to improve it all the time, unlike your lot we don't expect utopia, but we've got it pretty good here.
