Things are worse here than in the US, the people just dont realise it yet.
I saw your thread concerning the testing you have to do in class, its just the same here.

Oh please come and visit....you will fall in love with Scotland for sure. We live in the Highlands and will be your tour guides if you make it this far north! It's not warm really at any time of the year, and winter is definitely not the best time to visit. Not only does it tend to be extremely cold, but we get very short daylight hours. You could spend months exploring castles, scenery, wildlife, coastlines, islands, and if you like taking photos, you will love it here. It's a very photogenic place, albeit a bit moody. There is also a huge and very productive art community in Scotland, lots of galleries and studios to visit. Have I sold you a trip yet?
I say explore your instincts and see where it leads.
The fact is that England swings like a pendulum do, bobbies on bicycles two by two.

When Roger Miller said that back in 1965, it was probably an accurate portrayal of England at the time.
I remember bobbies 'on the beat'...one on his own walking the streets, sometimes two together.
Before mass immigration ruined everything.
Ah, take me back...

I too have a yearning to visit England. Upon doing some research, including what I've heard here, I know there are some "problem" areas, but we have that here in the USA (Detroit, et ux).

I've read about people (in the late 1800s), from various English colonies around the world, describing their high expectations before their arrival in England, but soon disappointed by what they saw after setting foot on the dock. I'd say the same is true for any place in the world, except Hawaii.
