Sorry for this rather angry title, but this is how I feel right now. I've recently moved to the UK and I have to say I am less then impressed. NOTHING works here, businesses cheat you, public transport is a joke, everything takes for ever and if anything needs to get done you have to be the biggest asshole around. Not my idea of a great place.
If you need examples: It took BT 1 and half month to activate a telephone line, something that they charge 120 pounds to do, it has taken our stupid landlord the same time to give us a key that he promised (actually we still haven't recieved it), it cost me 1/3 of a ticket to Copenhagen, to take the crap trains that are always late from Reading to London. It takes the bus 1 hour to go 15 km in the morning. Roads are clogged after 7.30 in the morning. The building quality is a joke, with the wind coming through the windows like they were open, and isolation is about as good as it would be in a shanty town in Johannesburg. JESUS, please give me one thing that works in this symbol of capitalism...
I need it now....cause I really am a positive person....

so i suppose this book is on your christmas wish list :)
Am surprised, sounds like they are retrogressing. I think it could be the fact that everyone there has deluded themselves into believing that this is what capitalism stands for (sort of what the communists thought years and years ago).
I apologise on behalf of all the locals.
Your blog gives an interesting insight into life in this town and I want to encourage you to express your thoughts a bit more.
I've added it to my local directory so that I can keep an eye on it, but I'm interested in moving it up to my regular Reading List of local sites I monitor.
