To British and English (what is the difference btw?) FReepers: I’ve long admired your country. Your traditions, culture, your beautiful and incredible countryside. You kicked butt in WWII! That being said WTF is going on in your country? Are people that uninformed? Lazy?

I’ve only had the pleasure of passing through Heathrow a couple of times (decades ago) and when I was a believer in reincarnation I used to tell people that at one time I must have been a Brit in a past life cause I soooooo like your country.

But this and other stories about how the country is falling apart distresses me. You are all in my prayers.

Thanks for the concern, but there is no need for prayers. My country isn’t falling apart in the slightest. It’s still a great country.

Hiking rail prices doesn’t equal a country falling apart. And it still works out cheaper to use public transport than use a car.

Cheers.
