[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier about having lived in both London and DC. You can't really meaningfully compare your experience vacationing in a place with living there. If you haven't had to work in a place, pay taxes there, hire a plumber, or try to find a decent school for your kid, you dont really know it. Most Americans would be horrified at [b]the condition of rental apartments in the UK (run-down, no clothes dryers, no garbage disposals)[/b], much in the same way that Londoners would be horrified to discover the number of important US cities that are wholly inaccessible by public transit. Most Americans would also be frustrated by the need to be on hold for 40 minutes starting at 8 am to get one of the NHS appointment slots available that day at your local surgery, with its 10000 person patient docket. They would also be shocked to hear the NHS mammogram lady say, "See you in 4 years." On the flip side, Americans would also be pleasantly surprised when their NHS mammogram, scheduled for 10:30, actually takes place at 10:30, something that you could be sure wouldnt happen in the US.[/quote] Meh. You could be describing NYC rentals as well. Also, my mammogram appointment here in NYC often starts EARLY. These generalizations are just stupid and lazy.[/quote]
