I've been seeing a lot of these posts recently about Petrol prices, and it's a fact that the UK pays the most than any other country in the world. Yet some Americans think otherwise and it leads me to believe they think this place is the land of milk and honey. I'm going to rant and rave and convince everyone otherwise...
These are my 5 reasons why the UK sucks, and why Americans should open there eyes and relise just how lucky they are.
1) We pay the most for petrol then any other country in the world...Which most of us can't actually afford yet screaming and whining about it makes no difference.
2)
GET THIS AMERICANS!!!.....Our public transport is a pile of dogshit and it cost's as much or even more to take the bus from my house to town, then it would to take my car. Considering it's only 11 miles!...And let's take into account our country is like 30x smaller then yours we have to pay £100 ($199) to travel from Oxford to London, by train which is only about 30 miles. And for the life of me I don't know where you got the information of our public transport being excellent, becuase you have been grossly misinformed.
3) We have the highest rate of teenage pregnancy then any other country. Probably due to the fact we are surrounded by Poor, Uneducated Chav's with no ambitions who spend tax payers money on fags and booze.
4) This country is a dump site!...Iv'e got a house in Florida, and everytime I go there it's like Heaven. I think I saw a plastic bag once on the road once which someone then made the effort to pick up!. If you ever come to England please email me if you ever see someone do that becuase they should be rewarded!.
5) We have to pay a rediculous amount of tax on basically everything!. Lets start by listing them:
Income Tax, National Insurance, Car Tax, Perks Tax, Petrol Tax, VAT. And im sure theres more....But that basically equates to about 70-75% of our income is just taken by tax. The poorer you are the better. If you make over £30k you might as well give up in life.
Thank you for listening to my rant. I hope that clears up why the rest of the world should be smiling, Becuase in the UK we have a reaosn not to.
