1) Global warming - Looking forward to it

2) Oxbridge. Compare a graduate from cambridge to a graduate from university of the philippines and you will see the educational disparity.

3)English gentry still exists, unless you go to liverpool . Yob culture exists everywhere. In uk, they use small blades and handguns, in the Philippines they use bollos and pickpocketing. Trust me, in the UK, people are too proud to charge a foreigner more. It's a dignity thing.

4)Bluebird said I'm afraid that that world-renown tolerance & respect is fast evaporating Nope, not whilst occupational rules are in place and not whilst we are a welcoming environment for other cultures, I don't buy it. Compare a Filipino family's life in mid-england with their life back home in Philippines.

Thanks trips



Thanks MariKen!

If you all want to you can green blob me

What things do you LIKE or LOVE about the United Kingdom?
Nice thread James. Not a Brit yet but I love everything about UK and i love many things about the Philippines as well. I Cannot make comparison because one is in the Northern part and one is in the South Far Eastern part of the world. One is considered as one of the richest country in the world and one belongs to the 3rd world country.
Can you please elaborate a bit on statements numbers 2 & 4?
Regards

Cheers!
