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

Not sure I agree with you on this one.
Every time I go home, I never see all this chav violence everyone is always going on about. The most annoying thing they seem to do is litter and play crap tinny music on their phones on the bus. But, here in Americaland, I can see crack dealers outside my kitchen window, and there are scary nutters everywhere who have a habit of shouting at everyone on the street. It's probably the same in both countries depending on where you are. In other words, West Dorset is a nice place, and South Florida is a shit hole.

West DOrset is lovely, charming and remote.
So remote that if zee Germans had invaded, nobody would ave noticed.
Mind you, they might have, thus explaining the lack of chavs, that are probably rounded up in a camp deep in the woods making leather baseball caps out of the skin of the previous generation of Chav's, to lure the next generation of Chav's.
I should suggest this to the BNP, or to the Tories in a couple of months, if they keep going down the slippery road of populism.

I suspect a Nazi inavasion might have been noticed, due to the massive build up of troops there
seeing as the best part of the allied invasion of Normandy left from Portland. The whole of West Dorset was crawling with American troops.

But when they left to land in France and invoade the fatherland? Who was left?
Bert and his dog?
Then the following scenario could have happened:
"Aha! Nobody expects zee suprize German invazion!"
"Ach! Zee moutached one vill be pleased!"
"Where is zee enemy? Let's go asks in zis local beer serving establishment."
Cue - Entire German raiding party goes "inspecting" local pubs.
Wavy lines wavy lines wavy lines wavy lines wavy lines wavy lines etc.
Cue - Zee germans slowly stumble from zaid establishments sometime after the crossing of zee Rhine and before Diana gets whacked.
"Lets go to zee Glastonbury and intern zee Chavs!"
Etc

The problem you have here
is that neither the British, not the Americans, behave like a homogenous mass, being instead this difficult to categorise thing called "humanity". I'd imagine that this really annoys lazy journalists (from any point on the political spectrum).

It's sort of in the middle.
It gets South West local telly, while Dorchester, a few miles to the east, gets Meridian region, so I'm calling Portland west, although, Weymouth and Portland are the chavviest town of the region.

I love that part of tbe coast, used to go there a lot.
Living 600 miles from the coast isn't quite as good. I have to say.
