I live in England, and it's lovely, especially the unpredictable weather! As for the person who said the English eat: bangers and mash, toad in the hole, blood sausage, tripe (intestines, or chitlins as Yanks would call it) and head cheese (the brain of a cow mixed with jelly from bone marrow). That's not entirely true, I certainly don't eat most of that, except the bangers and mash and toad in the hole, (bangers and mash, is sausage and mashed potato, toad in the hole is sausages in a giant Yorkshire pudding) At least we don't eat ourselves to death, like some Americans do, with their MacDonald's etc.

Hmm, I live in Ireland so I've spent a lot of time in England. It will of course depend on what part of England you're living in, London is like New York, except normally wetter and Cornwall is like well I suppose it's as close as you can get to the Californian coastlines as people go surfing there, except of course it's usually colder.  But as for England overall, well a few givens. It's a great place, food is different, weather is different, TV has less commercials (and none at all on the BBC), they drive on the other side of the road to you guys, and you'll find pretty much everything is more expensive. On the positive side, nobody has guns (well excepet illegal ones held by hardened criminals and legal ones held by farmers) so it leads to a somewhat more relaxed attitude. Totally different from my brief Californian experience (I've been 5 times) but none the less enjoyable.

I wonder what that says about us Brits?  While it still existed, I would throw in my ha'penneth (half pence) but still offer a penny for your thoughts. Perhaps we're too self-effacing, that we think our opinion is worth half as much as someone else's!

I come from Egypt. I love it! It's got great scenery, awesome weather, and the people are very friendly. The government, though, is very corrupt; and life standards are quite low. I highly recommend it for vacationers. It may also be good for businessmen. But, otherwise, the political and economic conditions are not very good.

Er . . . in a word . . .no.\n\nWe've moved on.\n\nWhatever stupid Hollywood films like to say about British people none of us actually give a TOSS about the empire or "want it back" - it was gone long before I was born and I have never known an "empire".  \n\nIts a thing of the past.  Leave it in the past where it belongs.\n\n(If this was an attempt to be Anti-British - then I'm sorry to burst your bubble).

royalty is always great, not necessarily England only. I'll try and say why i think so:\ntradition \nstability \nblood-linkage with other royal families of the world, that would make state unions or treaties easier to sign. \nthe idea of something worthy to sacrifice for\netc (you think of something)\nI am a firm supporter of royalty, although I live in a semi-presidential republic. my country has been for over 40 years under communism, but before that it has been a constitutional monarchy. maybe i haven't lived under the monarchic rule and maybe i am a little over-romantic, but that is how i feel. ban me if you don't like it

sounds like the american Revolution?  \n\nYou need to find out all the things that are good about England and being part of british empire.   Talk about loyalty to king....talk ahat bout how the "patriots" are traitors that will be hung for their treason.  (you have to embrace and see it from the perspective of the loyalists)

**sigh**..... This is pathetic I know but no matter how loud my head keeps screaming Brazil, my heart still says ENGLAND.....ENGLAND..... and ENGLAND.  \n\n\nIt's sad really... I have high hopes for England but after watching them play last Saturday I gotta say I was disappointed. They didn't really suck... heck they even won!!!... but I had much higher expectation. I really believe they have the potential to win and hopefully they'll perform better as a team the next match. \n\nAnyways, England has always been my number one team and I'll continue supporting them no matter what.

No and I don't think the English are doing all that well. Last I checked they had to pay people to procreate because there population is falling away to nothing. "They clearly don't know what they are doing" heh it's a good thing we don't have one know it all running the country.

Yes, anybody who decides to come and live in the UK should have mutual respect for anyone and everyone who lives here. We are a diverse cultural country and english is our language. Anybody who comes to live here should learn English and respect the UK heritage. There should also be an exceptional amount of love for the UK as a whole. If a person cannot truly love this country, they should not come here. Bafore anyone flames me as being racist. I am not. I just love the country and the heritage of the UK. Anyone one else here should also.

I love Italy...been there a few times.  But from a political stand point....England.  Outside of fighting them for our independence.....when times are tough the Brits are always there!  Not like some of those beret wearing and octoberfest countries!

I am an American...was born and raised in Michigan....I am currently living in England about 45 min from London.  Its alright...it rains alot....but there is alot of history here and its really cool to see some of the old castles.  The Tower Of London is great but Stonehenge really wasn't that impressive.

Personnally, there are a lot of good things about the Brit.  I have a close friend from Wales, lots of my favorite music come from the UK (Depeche Mode, New Order (Gillian Gilbert is cute, I wished she would smile more)), it's the home origin of shows like Monte Python and Doctor Who.  Driving through the countryside, there are a lot of beautiful places to vist.\n\nIgnore the unknowledgeable...ones like that say nasty stuff about Native Americans and other people and races as well.\n\nI try to embrace the differences.  With out differences, there would be no variety.  That would be pretty boring.

I would diagree that most non-US citizens do not like us. I agree that the ones that do not like us are the most vocal right now. We have a lot of work to do, but our policies haven't really changed in the last hundred years. \n\nAs far as my opinion on the government, I absolutely love it. There are many flaws with our current parties that control the government, but we can fix it once we decide that is really what we want to do.\n\nOur government has the most promise out of any government that I can see in the world today. I just look forward to the day that we live up to that potential.
