Things That Suck About England

 * The weather.
 * It takes like seven hours to clean up a crash on the motorway.
 * No one says anything back when you say "Hi" to them, or anything, while passing on the sidewalk.
 * You could go three years without ever seeing workmen actually working at a work site.
 * Repairing a gas line or electrical line in the road means two weeks of a road being one-lane, with traffic lights allowing people through from either side. For why, see above.
 * They think that it's a good idea to "calm traffic" by putting a concrete obstruction in one lane, completely blocking it off.
 * Their idea of food is to take a hunk of beef, put it in a pot filled with water, boil it until all the water's gone, and serve.
 * Black pudding.
 * The weather.
 * The driving age is 17.
 * Chavs.
 * There are literally "two lane" roads which couldn't fit a single Mini down them, let alone two cars going in opposite directions.
 * Bad drivers are everywhere.
 * Because of some stupid rule involving trees over a certain age, old trees remain jutting out in the middle of the road with no way of getting rid of them.
 * Nine out of ten times you try and order a package, they expect you to be at your house anywhere from, say, 10am to 6pm. Why the hell should I sit around for eight freaking hours?
 * Ten out of ten times you try and order a package, even with special instructions such as "I don't need to sign for it," it won't come and you have to go pick it up at the depot.
 * Everything is way too expensive.
 * No free refills, except in just one restaurant that I know of.
 * The weather.
 * Speaking of the weather, it's cold (which sucks), but not cold enough to snow (which is awesome). I've only ever had one snow day in seven years, and there was about an inch and a half of snow.
 * Shops close at 5:00, 5:30 occasionally. I get home from school at 4:00ish, how the hell am I meant to buy anything without running everywhere?
 * Customer service is crap. Example: In shops, if you ask for something, the employee will most often say "Over there," point in the general direction, and go back to talking with another employee.
 * Customer service is even worse on the phone. Don't get me started.
 * England is right next to Scotland, which is an awesome place, yet they don't learn anything from the Scottish.
 * The weather makes me pale. Then the one day I do get in the sun, I burn like a lobster. Everyone who lives in England is like this.
 * Did I mention the weather?
 * The beer is traditionally flat and warm.
 * TV Shows, movies, games, and everything else comes out like a month after things in the US (and other places).
 * They show the same episode of a TV show over and over again for about three days before moving on to the next episode.
 * Lack of angled parking and abundance of tiny parking spaces.
 * The lack of good (streaky) bacon.
