Spunt's helpful guide to Britain for fat Americans - Learn about Anglos so you can hate them better

Wrt Sunderland, I was by a fortunate (?) coincidence there today, visiting the National Glass Centre (well worth a visit if you like arty glass or watching proper craftsmen at work).

I can only assume they called the football ground "The Stadium of Light" as a sick joke because the whole place reminded me of the worst bits of Salford, or Bradford without the curry houses.

And sorry, north-eastern types, put the parmo is shit-tier peasant food for people who've never been anywhere that doesn't have a Metro station.

the worst bits of Salford

Take comfort, Ordsall is likely to be flattened for more Media City bullshit in the near future and Little Hulton is just getting swallowed up by wankers claiming it as Astley.

 

[Death Grip]

Mmmn yeah Sunderland. I went there once in life and vowed never again.
But a National Glass Centre seems worth a trip.
Damn I might have to go back.

I used to live in Weaste, it was bizarre walking down to Media City and suddenly being in peak BBC wanker territory. Although better them than the troglodytes I used to see hanging around Salford precinct, horrid little rat people.

I'll probably go to England someday. Got family there but dreading it slightly

it's really not as bad as everyone says it is. Granted, I got stuck in London during their Pride Parade which was pretty horrific, but otherwise its not that bad.

Outside of some of the areas of some cities, England is pretty fantastic. If you like history we have so much of it it becomes a nuisance when you want to build anything new, despite what certain excessively online people think our food culture is fantastic (anything from stodgy traditional comfort food to Michelin starred fine dining) and some pretty lovely scenery too.

We also speak a civilised tongue, unlike the heathen babble on the other side of the channel.

Yeah but you drive on the wrong side of the road.

You drive on the French side of the road

I second this. One of my favorite threads and I hope it continues

So we can have fucking swordfights!

That's a good one, I'll return fire with you guys driving on the weeb side of the road.

Waifus, Toyotas and hanzo steel vs the hideous lich Macron chucks his muck in, Citroën and the famas. Driving on the left looks good to me.

 

[Spunt]

Australians drive on the left too, because it is considered disrespectful to high-five oncoming motorists with your left hand when one spots a fellow driver of a "sweet Ute".

Can you do a list of the main counties in England?

Thinking about British people makes me feel depressed.

They make me think of grey skies and unattractive people in zip up fleeces going "But that's just the way it is, innit?" in a documentary about some bleak societal issue before they all head down to the local pub/methadone clinic.

 

[Lone Dogma]

You should've bought up what is now Northern Trains in the railway post, unless you're saving that shitshow for a future post.

BTW, will we get one on HS2 and HS3/NPHR?

Which Morrissey song are these lyrics from?
