milan stop trying to convince yourself that you don't live in a place full of melancholy Eastern European peasants.
Each time I've been to Czech (and not the tourist areas BTW) - I've noticed how mournful the locals are - they are nice enough folk but God are they a miserable bunch - not half as much fun as the locals at my London local.
Even the fooking Germans are more lively.

I do believe that a lot of people in the UK don't realise how skint everyone is here.

Actually the fooking Germans are a lot more lively than they are given credit for. I did a contract in Zürich and thought that the Swiss were too, until I finally realised that all the people in the office who ever smiled or laughed were actually German.

Yes that was true when I was in Basle too.
The Swiss combine being boring with being smug - not a good combo.
