Well, I was under the impression that they always served cold food and warm beer over there, so I agree it has more to do with moving to a post-Christian culture than the lowering a tax.

Sounds like their collective national character has been spiraling down, too.

I have traveled all over the world and I visited London in 2006. I found the people to be rude,narcissistic, and drunk.
The youths had bad manners and filthy mouths. Maybe I was in the wrong part of London. I did meet some really nice people thou. They took great pride in their education and appearance. A few years back,I had a British commando friend who was in his late 50's and he was as tuff as nails, yet very polite. Fear was not in his fiber. I also agree that the country has lost it's Christian heritage.
