A forriner's guide to blighty
A short article about what forrin travel guides say about England. Some of them are utterly ludicrous, but some of them are depressingly accurate.
"England is a nation of overweight, binge-drinking reality TV addicts"
Fuck off you slaaaag. Now where's me can of wifebeater, big brother's about to start!

Shame it seems to be a throwaway article.
The concept could have made a really nice on-going blog.

According to epidemiologic.org
the UK was only the 28th most overweight country (by percentage of population) in the world in 2007, and I doubt it's changed that much in a mere 3 years.
