My response to 100 Things I wont miss about England (by Ben Gwynne)
Ha. Good stuff.
Living here now i can definitely relate to some of these..
1 - Lines are EVERYWHERE. Worse thing is people just accept it
2 - No one should have to pay to pee. Its a natural body function. So we pay to breathe?
3 - Yorkshire pudding is not at all pudding and not at all tasty. Its just baked dough without any flavor
4 - Royal Family. Seriously. What purpose do they serve in a democratic government? None, unless of course you count the media coverage they get when one of the princes (or their girlfriends) goes out 'on the piss'. I mean what the hell else are they supposed to do?
5 - Mullets, tight pants, and fuzzy boots as a fashion statement. Enough said.
but do have to contradict a few...
1 - English indian food (aka 'a curry') - Never had it before coming here and now i love it. its gotta be good then right?
2 - Weetabix - Not that bad if you mix up some fruit in it. Like the bananas, blueberries and apples like i did this morning
3 - English Breakfast - Not gonna lie, i like it
4 - Comments on America - I actually love this. People here in England think all people in america are stupid (granted, most people anywhere are, including america, but its only by sheer numbers that we have more of them) mostly because of the avg american's lack of knowledge of european geography. Fair enough, most people in america dont know where the Georgia (the country ) or what the capital of slovakia is, but ask a brit where idaho is or the capital of montana and watch them stutter and dribble. Lets keep in mind that flying from NYC to LA is a about 5 hrs long. Not to mention most euros think that NYC is the capital of america!
5 - Footie. I dont think i really have to fight this one if you know me but it is the greatest sport in the world. the daily, hourly, even up to the minute coverage is borderline heavenly
6 - Lou (bathroom) is spelled Loo, Cheaky is spelled cheeky

Brown. Indian food over there SUCKS. And you know that just shows how bad English food is, that they have to adopt the food from another country and try to make it their own? That's baloney. Plus, I had Indian students at my school that wouldn't have eaten that "curry" if they had a gun to their head. If you want good Indian food next time you come to NYC let me know.
TWO. Weetabix isn't bad, but why can't they just break it up a bit more? I mean, it's the same thing as shredded wheat, but shredded wheat comes out of the box and I can eat it with a spoon right there. BAM!
