Roast beef and yorkshire puddingsAmusing and mainly tasteful TV commercialsOur history and historic buildings etcThe national language (its still English by the way)National newspapers are little better that comics.Outstanding TV broadcast are few and far between. Even with over 100 channels to choose one we frequently need to watch a video instead.Amusing and tasteful TV adverts, you must be joking. Some are OK, but many are incomprehensible.The national language is NOT spoken by most kids. They speak mainly in glottal English, and in the main are totally unable to sound the letter T, they also have great difficulty with Th, it usually comes out as F or V. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 and health care system in britain is 10x better than the one in america.I didn't know that America had one. Ours has gone to the dogs, but as you say it is far better than anything in America. At least the first question isn't "Do you have insurance?"
