    Depends on where you listen to it though. In some places it's pretty dire and doesn't even tell you when the pound is in free fall...

    I reckon London is one of the best things about the UK.
    It is a magnificent place and boasts some wonderful places to visit.
    I just wouldnt want to live there.

    Fact is the UK is a distinctly mediocre country, fast becoming 2nd world.
    It probably never was the best place - unless in the minds of those brainwashed by the elite to think so.

    best things about the UK ?

    most of all, it's the British people.. quite a few of you guys rock.

    let's face it though the weather is dire/cold/grey
    the public transport is stretched (although nice to see it.. it doesn't exist in some places)
    it's friggen expensive

    but there is always something to do/see or going on
    and always somebody elses life to laugh at down the pub

    lemme know when the jobs return.
