Don't know about you but I'm getting so fed up with all of the doom mongers and nay sayers on here, I thought I'd start up a thread for the positive amongst us to list everything that we think is great about this country.
My thoughts - I love the beautiful British countryside and the fact that it looks different in every season. I love our friendly village pubs that serve good beer and good pub grub. I love our coastline, some of the most beautiful in the world.
Over to you guys - let's keep this thread going ........
Think it is a shame people don’t stick to the original question ie what do you LIKE about living in Britain! We all know what we don’t like!!! Nobody smug or ignoring the problems. Just for once a light hearted thread accentuating the positives! Those who have contributed pointing out the negatives are totally missing the point. Thanks OP ... you tried!
Eloethan is quite correct in that many replies miss the point entirely.
So (allowing myself to digress too) Urmstongran is puzzled about why people would have 2, 3 or more different identities/usernames. It was common on another forum and used to 'agree' with each other, back each other up - and put other posters down. They often failed to change their writing style, though, (and happened to always be on the same topic at the same time) so were quite easily identified!
It probably isn't me but I will come clean and say I left GN for a while and then came back under different name - which lots of posters have done I'm sure.
Crystaltipps I think you'll find that Granygravey was referring to the geographical land mass known as a continent. Not that we are a European country.

jolbook The song was: And I'm telling you. Watch Sheridan Smiths version ( on YouTube) pure heartbreaking emotion. The Karaoke version is very different.
I can have up to 5 email addresses with my current provider and another 5 with a company I used to be with. I do have two different ones that I use - one just for entering competitions etc, so I don't end up with a lot of unwanted spam.
But as for being two people on here - a) I can't see the point and b) I'd have tripped myself up on day 1.
I love living in Europe and being able to easily visit France and enjoy its lovely food and wine ditto Italy with more medieval buildings than anywhere in the world.
