As a visitor to the UK, I found the following are really offputting:
1 The amount of dog muck on streets and greens where people are supposed to walk
2 The women’s hung out oversized bellies. They look pregnant but I am asured they are not.
3 How people spit everywhere.
4 How dirty the towns are.

In USA the women were three times as big and a lot more gross. But here in Africa being thin means HIV positive.

Ahem....

I am an American woman and I take offense at what you said. People are not "big and gross" as a whole in this country. Yes, we are fed well, and yes, we should probably get out of our cars just a little more often and get some more exercise (of course our country is so spaced out that you really NEED a car to get most places, unfortunately).

Furthermore, I have been to the UK (England and Scotland) several times. I found NONE of what you claimed above to be true. I have never seen "dog muck" laying anywhere, and while a lot of the girls I saw were pleasantly plump (they eat well in the UK too), I saw none that were obese or had "oversized bellies". I never saw anyone spit either, nor were any of the towns I visited particularly dirty.

Maybe you people should get your AIDS crisis under control (i.e. wear a fukking condom) in Africa, before you go bashing other countries that were generous enough to allow you to visit!

I think less than 33 percent of the women have huge bellies in UK. Some of these hang out bare and are not nice to look at, but they are in the minority.

Few towns are dirty. A town is difficult to keep clean if the people are not naturally clean. In Slough where I used to live, it was always dirty round take aways. THe council should post police officers to fine people heavily and raise cleaning money. The problem would stop after a few months, but many fights would take place.

THe dirtiest place I have been is in America. If you want to see huge bellies, I could tell you where to travel to. You go to a restuarant and you get a week's supply of food on one plate.

I dont know what part of the UK you are in but i shall answer you questions in turn.

1. Not in my area..it is highly clean and rubbish free streets.
2. You may be correct in saying some oversized bellies hang out.
3. I would agree people sometimes spit but they dont tend to be british people, often they are the foreign visitors that have the bad habit.
4. Answered in number 1, my streets are clean...

This cannot be a genuine question, I think you have never been to UK. Bellies are in fashion now and you seem to be in culture shock. The british people don't spit apart from some rebellious teenagers. Before the dustman visits, the street may look very bad but after - it is clean again. Dirty towns? try Greece or Manilla.

I'm afraid it's true in some parts of the UK. Swansea streets are covered in dog muck, rubbish and spit, it's been like that for years.
