This is a question Why I Love/Hate Britain

This week's been all about the Daily Mail and why people love or hate their country. Tell us one thing you hate about Britain, and one thing about why you love it.

This shouldn't be an excuse for RACISTLOLS, or long lists of things you dislike. Be intelligent, be funny, and be interesting

Hoodies, bouncers, drunks, haircuts and meat
One of the last times I visited Britain was during winter and here's a collection of things I disliked:

Not being allowed in a shopping mall because I was wearing a hoodie. It was winter, what should I be wearing?

Visiting a lovely little cider house in the country, lots of adults enjoying themselves and all well behaved despite the amount of alcohol consumed. Get a taxi in to the city afterwards and stop by the local chip shop - greeted by a bouncer on the door and before I could even ask why there was a bouncer at a chip shop a fight broke out in the queue.

Another night out, walking down the street and in front of me a girl slips on a patch of ice. I go to help her, my brother warns me not to, I think he's being a dick so proceed with my gentlemanly ways. As I try to pick her up from the icy floor she starts screaming blue murder, ranting and raving as if I was attacking her.

The haircuts. What the flaming hell is going on with all the men's haircuts. I understand that due to high house prices there's a generation of people that would rather spend their hard-earned money on cars and holidays but it seems that there's also a high proportion of men that splodge all their cash at Toni and Guy. Just walking in to a pub was a complete culture shock - to the point where I was laughing out loud.

I do miss the food though. Faggots, kebab meat, black pudding - basically anything inventive with left over meat.

They'll do anything for some left over meat

Your mum's quite inventive with leftover meat

Yes in Britain we have left over meat but in France it is charcutrie.
