A silly survey. And these students obviously have never heard of Tim Berners Lee.

The survey questioned some 2,000 ethnic minority students with A or B grade averages and extensive extra-curricular achievements.Dumbed down education, grade inflation, or both?
The British Council expressed concern that only one third of minority students thought Britain could be described as "diverse".
The other two-thirds thought that "diverse" was somethng poets wrote.

But Britain is cold and rainy. lol
To: MadIvan
Tomorrow's American leaders think Britain is arrogant, cold, rainy, and far from the cutting edge in science, culture or business, a "disturbing" new survey suggests. Oh I don't know, a country that gave us Thomas Paine and the Beatles can't be all that bad.

The survey questioned some 2,000 ethnic minority students with A or B grade averages and extensive extra-curricular achievements. It was designed to focus on the fastest growing segments of the US population - Latino, Asian American and blacks. All live in Texas and California, booming states set to dominate the "new America" of a few years' time. Seems like an odd group to sample and an odd perception of the US.

If England is this great technological leader, why don't they have decent special effects on Doctor Who?

I visited England, France and Italy last year. If I had my choice, it would be tough call between England and France. I would have to pick England. I felt the most comfortable there,and people very friendly. The rain didn't bother me, and I was suprised I could actually time the periods between rainfalls *LOL*

Japan is for becoming a Droid, not learning to create one.
Italian design has it all over French, whether it's cars, toasters, or clothing.

I've visited London a few times over the last decade. While its expensive and the weather stinks, the thing one can't deny is the large number of single hotties that inhabit the city. I can't recall anyplace else that had as many drop dead beautiful women per capita (Paris included).

I studied abroad in London back in 99... I didn't have a problem with the weather, as there was so many other wonderful things about England to enjoy that the weather was the last thing I noticed.
However, every now and then I would have problems with the locals. They tend not to take too kindly to Young Conservative Americans, if you can possibly imagine that.

Britain is a GREAT place to study. Spent a semester there. Museums, cathedrals, architecture, history.
Love it! Just stay out of the classrooms...you don't learn anything there.
