    Well I don’t know if I technically count, but England’s chip shops… why do you not have cheesy chips? What has cheese or a blend of three excellent cheeses done to you?

      All the ones I goto do cheesy chips these days.

      Could be a regional issue with dairy products 😁

        Hmm maybe a south thing… or just around here… jokes on them, I just carry a tub of grated cheddar with me at all times. 😉

          My favourite chippy in the Cathays area of Cardiff used to do cheesy chips, also - garlic chips, like actually cooked in garlic oil with crushed garlic on top.

          I feel like that’s a clue of your country of origin but you said cheddar and now I’m confused

    They can shit on the UK as much as they want. They will say things like:

    • Crime is up
    • It’s going bankrupt
    • It’s boring and everything closes early

    Compared to the country I came here, i have

    • Solid rights whether it’s employment, consumer, etc
    • My kids can get quality education for free
    • I can build long term plans and work on them without adverse effects

    The country I came from runs world wide media campaigns to make it look amazing. It’s a bait once you love there.

      Positive answers are definitely appreciated!

      It’s been a while ago, but back when I moved here, a lot of things were surprisingly easy and well organised. Back “home”, the usual way of getting a season ticket was still buying a piece of paper at one of the designated kiosks, and show it to the driver. It expires today and it’s a cold, rainy evening? Too bad, go and get a new one. Here? Log in and click on renew. Enter a few numbers. Click OK. I love it.
