Is there some only-locals-will-notice-this thing I'm missing? Or is it the "homeland hate" thing I also have since I really hate Germany from time to time? My impressions of England, like I said, are all but negative, and I like spending my time there.
Perhaps. I don't hate my country; I really enjoy living here, but after living in it you realise that it's actually not "great" (haha pun Great Britain).
I'm putting the rest under a cut because I don't want to clutter the thread.
London is definitely the nicest place I've been here (however even places in the London district are stricken with poverty), as well as Leeds in Yorkshire, but the rest of the country is either a farm or a town full of old people, thugs, people who claim money from the government because they're too lazy to work and spend the money on cigarettes, beer, tattoos etc.
Up north, there are neo-nazis who scream at every non-white or non-English person they see (when in fact in places like Yorkshire there is a huge arab/asian population so most of them were BORN here and ARE British. The NHS is severely understaffed, so expect to spend 4 hours waiting to see a doctor. We have a broken society of welfare dependency, teenage pregnancy and dysfunctional families.
Our education system is extremely good, however they keep fucking changing it. I would go into detail but I don't want to go even more off topic.
However, even though our country is SO flawed, I wouldn't move out of it.
London is where everything is. Literally. The population of London is nearly the population of Sweden itself, so it's crowded every day and getting a job there is a nightmare. I went to a small McDonald's near the Royal Courts of Justice and it was INCREDIBLY crowded, the kitchen was a nightmare and the people serving me didn't speak English too well. This wasn't even in summer or around holiday time. It was 2pm in the middle of March.
Sorry if I completely turned anyone off, I like ranting about this country.
Oh, and as a bonus, search "The Jeremy Kyle Show" on YouTube. The people on there basically represent our country.

Ah I see. I've only ever been to Canterbury, London and Oxford myself, so it looks like I've only scratched the surface of the problems this country has. The clutter in London, at least last summer, wasn't too bad, in my opinion. Now that you mention it, I did notice run-down parts of the country. Especially northern london wasn't appealing to me.

Is the United Kingdom really that bad outside the towns? I'm living in a german village, but here are no neo-nazis and lazy people xD
But I think, Great Britain has the problem to be a centralist state whether it doesn't want to be such a state. The most people outside the UK aren't interested in places there except the capital of europe, London.

umm bayern IS germany, and damn, i had to correct you. why the hell did write germany in german?
I addressed it as "state, country" and I mean "If I ever were to leave..." The "yo" instead of "to" is a typographical error since I type that on an Amerikan Keyboard!

That's probably the only place they know besides "that one dictionary place lol" and think all of England is like London. Also, London isn't the capital of Europe lol.

I think you're spot on with this rant, but I won't really respond in detail cuz it will just go off topic. I do find your lack of mentioning the BBC and Piers Morgan making the place god awful disturbing tho.

I meant that London has the most influence into Europe and it's the most visited european city so that you can call it "Capital of Europe" anyway. ^^

If I had to leave Australia, I'd go for America, Canada, England or even Rio.

If I were to move out of the country, I'd like to go to Australia. I would have gone to Sealand, but I heard that there were a couple riots and civil rights movements there.

Depends. London is a city.
I've lived in English towns and it hasn't really been any different. London has a lot of 'unwritten rules' such as standing on the left side of escalators, and people run up the right side. I currently reside in Scotland, which isn't as busy but it is definitely freezing up here, haha!

Yes, sorry, I meant cities instead of towns, of course! I've never heard of those stranges "unwritten rules", what happens when you don't follow them?

I would really love to see Japan, though I'd probably end up in North Korea for no real reason.

To say something to the England/London-topic again:
Here in Germany the UK is very popular.
Many people (especially girls) wear T-Shirts, bags or something like else with the union jack on it.
Almost everyone in my class wants our school to do a trip to London and not to german cities

If I wanted to leave corporate America I'd probably go to Canada or Sweden or some other country that does not have routine problems day in day out.
UK maybe, but ehh, Canada is basically England but for the New World anyway.

I don't think you understood the point of this topic: you should say in what country would you choose if you have to leave your country.
