Id also suggest that France is much less densely populated than the UK - less inhabitants to work around.

- tpmx 3y agoThe population density of the UK (particularly England) feels staggering to this Swede. Some examples (people/km^2): England: 434 UK: 280 Germany: 239 France: 118 EU: 109 California: 98 Texas: 43 US: 37 Sweden: 26 All land: 16
- cameronh90 3y agoSweden has about half the population of London. I am probably within walking distance of more people than live in Sweden.
- tpmx 3y agoSweden gets loads of tourists from e.g. Germany/The Netherlands just looking for peace/quietness. Where do English people go for that? Scotland?
- mschuster91 3y ago> Where do UK people go for that? Brits don't want quietness. Instead they go to Germany and drink until they can't stand upright - and then continue to drink until they pass out. Source: was a barkeeper many years ago in Munich. A group of half a dozen Manchester fans drank more in one night than what would last two days otherwise, it's absolutely insane. Australians also tend to drink a lot, but IME they tend to get rowdy when too drunk.
- chris1993 3y agoDoes Germany not have laws restricting sale of alcohol to drunk people?
- anonzzzies 3y agoThey have that in many countries but it doesn’t work. There is always someone who will sell booze to you, no matter the state you are in.
- wrboyce 3y agoMaybe the brits who want quiet aren’t going to bars in Munich to seek it out? What a fucking ridiculous means to back up an equally ridiculous statement.
- Dfiesl 3y agoYeah Scotland's very much up there, its known for having some incredibly remote regions.
- cameronh90 3y agoPersonally I go to Scotland, or sometimes Wales. Though even within England, the population is highly concentrated in the South East, so the South West and North East have a lot of relatively sparsely populated areas.

- rich_sasha 3y agoYeah, UK by area is mostly Scotland, which is stunningly beautiful and quite empty. Also infrastructure there tends to be more basic; even main roads in the north of Scotland are often single lane with passing places. Wales and Northern Ireland are smallish by land and not very densely populated (?) but not massive outliers I'd think.
- devoutsalsa 3y agoOne of my favorite things in Scotland was everyone waving at each other as one car stopped on the passing space as the other car drove past.
- 7952 3y agoEven the SE has areas with surprisingly low population density. Outside of the urban areas much of the land is protected against development as national park/AONB/green belt.
