I like cars that can crash and after an hour come right back to the race.

That car could probably get back in the race eventually.

I have tried watching F1 and I can't stand a race where they can't red flag it because of rain. There have been races where pretty much the whole race is gone because of rain.

NASCAR takes no skill, which is why Juan Pablo Montoya has won only 2 races in many years trying and kimi raikkonen has wrecked many cars trying to learn in a few races only.

Yeah thats the reason. Or as they have said it takes a different kind of skill. If it took no skill so many people could probably win races.

either way, it doesn't appeal to fudo.. maybe if they were forced to drift all the way round.

In fact, they seem to want to ban - or denormalise - an awful lot of things here at the moment.

The reality of most of uk is quite different from the picture the BBC portrays. We have a huge drinking culture over here. Friday/Saturday night on most high streets here are pretty scary with all the drunk people falling over everywhere and being sick. I've never found another country which has as many drunken loons as over here. Britain also has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the whole of Europe, which is probably a result of all those drunken nights haha

But that said, one I prefer about uk compared to America is that people here don't pretend to be so manically happy all the time. I find that can be exhausting to be around. Also people seem to talk about they're feelings more in America which I'm not very good at, but thank god neither is most other people in uk.

The title says "Why I wouldn't want to live in England"

but then the OP says:

Please decide which you are referring to - Britain or England. :roll:

Can't Americans learn to get this right? They are constantly referring to "English" and "British" people as though they were the same thing. Yes, all English people are British, but not all British people are English.

Britain = England, Scotland, and Wales. Thus, "British" people are not exclusively English. They can be Scottish or Welsh.

The UK = Britain + Northern Ireland.

It's time for that amazingly brilliant, mega-fast video again:
