[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in the UK and was struck by the low standard of living- unless you come from money.[/quote]

Middle class people live like LMC/working class here.  Dh is British and MC and when we got married I moved to UK.  Although I visited many times it didn't really sink in until I lived there.  Everything is expensive and crappy and people just have a low standard for everything- food quality, service, clothing quality, crowds, cleanliness, just everything.[/quote]

I think the problem is that many people have no real sense of what quality really is. If you like big cars, big fridges, big portions, then the US is clearly better. If you like quality tailoring, good wine, world-class restaurants, quality food, excellent holiday destinations, and fun people, then London is streets ahead.[/quote]

Quality tailoring?  On whom? They don't even wear undershirts and the men's button are hanging on for dear life.  Have you looked at how poorly fit their clothing is? It's a different style and cut, but it fits poorly.  Wine, food, vacations etc is lower quality and grimy, mostly overrun with Brits tattooed on their very flesh exposed bodies (gross), in some cases flesh rolling over their hips and out of their untucked shirts.

The one thing we do agree on - the people can be a lot of fun.  They seem to like to "have a laugh" and relax in ways that uptight Americans just can't do.[/quote]
