Question

And what do you hate the most about it?

Answer 1

Likes:
- curries

- the easy to understand tax system
- football commentary
- pub life
- chatting to people at bus stops
- freedom of speech

- the idiots (they're coming out)
- aggressive behaviour
- the general anti-European attitude
- the royal family and the whole sycophant regime
- racist behaviour (from the largest former colonial power - we are not as bad as some though)
- the M25
- subjects like "a state funeral" for evil edna
- the irrational legal approach to drugs (I can't buy mushrooms any more, what is the world coming to?)
- the idea to abolish London's red double decker buses (another national disgrace)

Answer 2

What I like that you get a Doctor when you need one, without having a credit facility or special health insurance cards.
That if I have to call out for paramedic that I don't have to worry that my credit card cant handle it.

Glad that I had the opportunity to have a good education.

Glad that I have fresh water to drink.

Love that England or rather UK has become far more cosmopolitan in outlook, attitude, foods and acceptance.




In general I like the tolerance English people have adopted over he years.
I used to like the freedom of speech - no longer there
My home is my castle - does not exist with compulsory purchase power law
I used to love the freedom and relaxed way of England - not any more it has become a Nanny state, whoever has been in power.

hate the high taxes. Wonder why other people in other countries have greater spending power, although I have to work longer hours.

Answer 3

The thing I like most would have to be Dorypanda, who, alas, is no longer with us in Yahoo Answers, as she was suspended. I can't say I hate anything about England, I've never been there, and can't give an educated opinion on the subject.

Answer 4

London

Answer 5

The English

Answer 6

I love that there are so many beautiful and historic places. I can leave my house and in an hour I can be in a main city centre, at the sea front or in the countryside.

I would say that I hate the weather the most, it really gets me down. I also hate the crime and that so many people are addicted to drugs.

Answer 7

i like that it is one of the most richest countries in the world and the music we have is the best- (oasis n all that) and to all u americans saying they hate brittish accents, there is loads, not just london accents, theres:
Jordie accents (newcastle)
Boro accents (middlesbrough)
scottish accents (like: al'right lassie)
manchester accents
and loads more.
I also love living there because it is one of the most highly educated countries, and the scenery is amazing, step out of your door and walk for a minute your in the woods, also known as god back garden! walk for another minute your at the beach eating fish and chips(to americans fish and french fries) and a nice lemon top(ice cream). In the car for five minutes your at the town centre! You never get bored as there is so much things to do. Like new york: you can live there your whole life and never really set foot outside your door. It is also a much healthier country than america because we dont serve 6foot pizzas, and we have much much less obese people than america, and our streets are much cleaner.

Answer 8

Likes: The unparalleled history & culture, literary & musical heritage, the quirky sense of humour and the vast number of sports we invented.

Dislikes: Spongers flooding the country, the Government, people who hate the UK but still live here, Millwall.

The People
The History and Culture
The public transport (Despite what the media says)
Public Safety (Despite what the media says - look it up)
The BBC
The Pub Culture
The Beer

Access to the rest of the world

Dislikes:
The Media (Without the negative reporting we would all perceive it to be that much better)
