I’ve come across an interesting website on UK yob culture. Oh it makes me so proud to be British at times!! Or half at least.
It never ceases to amaze me how the UK has turned into a nation of rowdy roughnecks. Perhaps growing up bored on an island with hideous weather has led to the country’s ultimate demise – but hey, nobody ever refers to Greenland as a country full of trash! Seriously… going out for a drink or two to socialise can be fun. But doing it every day? For most people, drinking is a consequence of socialisation. For Brits – drinking is the socialisation; you do it to get pissed. I’ve never known such a pointless existence…
If ever a Brit grumbles to you about how poor they are, or how snobby you are (“ooh… rich kid buying smoked salmon for lunch”), then just kindly point out that if they reduced their alcohol intake by 50% they could probably even afford caviar. But they won’t have any of it – try it!
To drink and get pissed is to eat and have shelter, it’s a need not a want! Yes, that’s right folks, the rest of us citizens of the world are missing out and should apply to the UNDP for aid – since we’re evidently lacking in basics.
On another note, I think making young offenders wear uniform is a great idea. In fact, they should bring back the ball and chain too. Ahh yes… those were the good days…
