Positive notes about the UK

Creme fraiche is yummy
"Knackered" is a great word
Saying, "That's pants," has gotten to be a lot of fun
Pay-as-you-go mobile phones are CHEAP
Nudity in daily newspapers and on public television
Phil & Ted's E3 buggies available in shops
You can get almost anywhere by train
Close proximity to mainland Europe

... OK, yeah, so not much. I tried.
