The good things about British culture/lifestyle are as follows:
a) sunday cricket
b) beautiful weather all year round and clean air (even the short days; perfect)
c) some of the best food in the world
d) some of the best hospitals/educational facilities
e) not so much these days as the music is all crap, but when I was younger music was great (most mainstream music has always sucked though)
f) piers, beaches and gulls

And that's about it really. I used to enjoy reading a paper for instance, but now all the papers are appalling. So, a lot of things I used to like I really don't like anymore. I am free from the programming and nothing can zap me. The BBC makes me feel physically ill. The monarchy actually makes me throw up. Blair makes my blood boil. Yet these are all meant to be happy clappy British culture things. They are rotten.
