I lived in the UK for two years (as a European), and I couldn't leave fast enough. Adjectives that I would use to describe British culture: miserable, passive-aggressive to the point of dishonesty, complaining, petty, distrustful of everyone to the point of paranoia.
There are obviously many great British people and not everyone is like that, but the overall way people treat each other? Yeah nah, not for me.
I'm not saying US doesn't have its problems, but they're of a very different nature.
- mcjiggerlog 7y agoSounds like you were in London / South-East. I've lived all over the UK and your description perfectly describes why I left London (for another country), but my childhood/university life growing up in the north of England could not have be more different.
- Carpetsmoker 7y agoI lived in Bristol. Even in my own little country of the Netherlands there are differences between regions, so I don't doubt that your experience in North England was better. I heard Scotland is a lot better too.
