England - General - Facepunch Forum

Come to Suffolk if you enjoy feilds, redundant cold war air bases and an accent that is IMPOSSIBLE to replicate, same for Norfolk, apart from Norwich being superior to Ipswich in every way.

The nice person to dickhead ratio has gone down the further south I've been. Of course, everyone from the south who came up at Camp FP was sorted, but seriously, every time I've visited the south I've been treated like shit because of my "accent". I hate the North/South/ and Scotland/England divides aswell, but it goes both ways. Maybe if people from the South wouldn't so often generalise saying "hurr northern inbred dumbfucks, its grim up north derp" then the people from the North wouldn't be so inclined to dislike them. I have to admit though the Scotland/England divide is mostly from what I've seen just Scottish people hating on the English for no apparent reason. I've never really seen any hatred towards the Scots from the English.

If you hear anybody hating on you because you're English you know they're full of shit. The other half hate the English because the English hate them.

One great thing you dont pay for in coming calls on mobile phones One bad thing is Tv license, which is a weird concept for me still.

Other than them, the rest of the people I met were polite, but I could tell they didn't exactly want to be my friend. We have nothing against Scotland, but they have something against us it seems.

Good food, culture, fascinating history and all of it's available to the public, Free healthcare, awesome accents, Greggs, relaxed attitude, almost permanent rainy smell, Glastonbury, Reading. I do love being English :3:

The Scottish/English in-fighting pisses me off. But then I suppose that's how it works - everyone seems to have to hate someone else: People from Manchester (where I live) hate people from Liverpool, and vice versa. People from the North-West hate people from the North-East, and vice versa. People from the North hate people from the South, and vice versa. People from Scotland hate people from England, and vice versa. People from the UK hate people from the USA, and vice versa.

I would love to visit Wales as well, has anyone been there before ?

[QUOTE=Enatai;24040005]I would love to visit Wales as well, has anyone been there before ?[/QUOTE] I was born there and have extensive family there, so I visit a lot. It's a nice place.

Awesome, I've heard that its loaded with many campping activites and great place for sea food. Also that the Welsh speak another language, so that could be a good learning experience aswell.

To Sweden!

Be aware of polish plumbers and builders etc, they are usually useless. My dad had a guy do up our bathroom and me and my dad ended up having to fix most of it up. Find proper English handymen. Also some american snacks and drinks are slowly finding there way to England, such as mountain dew. Also fish and chips, perfect out and about food for any time of day!

The brit version of MD actually tastes better, is not as bad for you and has more caffeine.

You'll get stabbed and they'll piss on your grave. or 2. They will be the kindest person you'll ever meet, are patient as fuck if you need to know anything and will inform you you should have a nice day. Scotland, the land of extremes ALSO AVOID PARK HEAD AND IBROX LIKE THE FUCKING PLAGUE!

[QUOTE=bravehat;24040432] ALSO AVOID PARK HEAD AND IBROX LIKE THE FUCKING PLAGUE![/QUOTE] This. The only sports related advice ever needed for visitors to Scotland.

Oh and watch your step in the barrowlands, can be an unsavoury place. But the donuts, oh god oh man the donuts :v::fh:

Yeah well if you're gay stay away from Scotland. I live in the US bible belt buckle Alabama and I've never seen so much rampant homophobia as Scotland.

No earthquakes, Twisters or hurricanes, Garry lives there.

I've been to England once and it was nice and all, but hot damn would I like to go to Scotland.
