What is good about being in the UK?

RevokeLisbon:

Another gripe I have about the Brits is when they refer to my country as Eire. Especially when trying to get something delivered. "Sorry, we dont deliver to southern Eire." "No problem", says I. "I live on the east coast of the Republic of Ireland."

OsiedleRuda: derek trotter: and.....there are virtually no Poles from UK/IRL here any clues why? I think the fact that we're not allowed to post in Polish may have something to do with it; this is not an issue on proper Polish forums of course. is this your answer? 200000 ( or who the hell know the numbers ) Poles in UK, nearly no any of them here? are they deaf or what?

time means: Tskie,zywiec and lech widely available now in pubs in the UK. its better than the other foreign stuff theyve been selling for decades IMO, with the exception of Coors on draught, thats great if you can find it. McCoy: i guess ill never find out and im not sad at all about it Id recommend a visit if you have the opportunity, the same as France or Germany, it has to be on any foreigners top 10 list of places to visit.. Did you know France is the most visited country in the World, shocking!!

They probably posted a few times, got fed up of the moderators, went somewhere else :) derek trotter: Eastern Europeans We're central European, btw.

-I will concede that the UK has produced some of the best comedies in the world. The likes of Only Fools, Fawlty Towers, The Royal Family etc. All quality. -Their football league isnt bad either. -The older generation of Brits are polite and courteous. Another gripe I have about the Brits is when they refer to my country as Eire. Especially when trying to get something delivered. "Sorry, we dont deliver to southern Eire." "No problem", says I. "I live on the east coast of the Republic of Ireland."

Football league, singular? There are many in England alone. You meant the Premiership, right? Comedy for sure. Some of it is for older people, e.g One Foot in the Grave, but most of it is pretty funny.

McCoy: alaska or any other pleace where you can live as a tough muthafucka I like Alaska a lot, what an area of peace and freedom with the best snowboarding the world has to offer, only problem is its too damn cold and in the summer its light for around 23 hours a day.

Seanus: The roads are better in the UK, that's for sure. Motorways (free!) - agreed Other roads - many of them never let me forget about Poland I suppose more double lane roads though

"No problem", says I. "I live on the east coast of the Republic of Ireland." I don't blame you at all actually - it would be like saying "sorry, we don't deliver to Polska" or "sorry, we don't deliver to Sverige"...absolutely pointless - the name of the country is Ireland! I've also never understood the BBC's insistence on using "Irish Republic", even nowadays.
