They can shit on the UK as much as they want. They will say things like:

  • Crime is up
  • It's going bankrupt
  • It's boring and everything closes early

Compared to the country I came here, i have

  • Solid rights whether it's employment, consumer, etc
  • My kids can get quality education for free
  • I can build long term plans and work on them without adverse effects

The country I came from runs world wide media campaigns to make it look amazing. It's a bait once you love there.

Positive answers are definitely appreciated!

It's been a while ago, but back when I moved here, a lot of things were surprisingly easy and well organised. Back "home", the usual way of getting a season ticket was still buying a piece of paper at one of the designated kiosks, and show it to the driver. It expires today and it's a cold, rainy evening? Too bad, go and get a new one. Here? Log in and click on renew. Enter a few numbers. Click OK. I love it.

Well I don’t know if I technically count, but England’s chip shops… why do you not have cheesy chips? What has cheese or a blend of three excellent cheeses done to you?

All the ones I goto do cheesy chips these days.

Could be a regional issue with dairy products 😁

Hmm maybe a south thing... or just around here... jokes on them, I just carry a tub of grated cheddar with me at all times. 😉

My favourite chippy in the Cathays area of Cardiff used to do cheesy chips, also - garlic chips, like actually cooked in garlic oil with crushed garlic on top.

I feel like that's a clue of your country of origin but you said cheddar and now I'm confused

Not sure where they are going to find cheese curds in the UK.
