Or, live to 85 with an umbrella permanently attached to your wrist, teeth that could frighten a wolverine, 6 TV channels (two of which are left wing propaganda mills for which you're obligated to pay a steep user fee), a car that might well fit in your average size pantry, in a culture of "don't do anything to hurt the nice young thug", and a medical rationing system right out of George Orwell.
I always enjoy visiting Britain and consider myself an anglophile, but there's more to life than longevity.
Hmm, maybe you are on to something. If the intruders get shot it will shorten the average life expectancy!

And you consider yourself an anglophile do you? :D
FYI I have a 5 bedroom house originally built in 1720 on an acre of land, have a large car and a Range Rover, 80 satellite channels and (legally) own a .303 rifle and 2 shotguns. I also have nice teeth and private healthcare - hard to believe I live in England from your ill-informed rant isn't it? :D
As for the weather, the avg annual rainfall in Washington DC is 39.3 inches versus 32 in London and the average temp in January is 36 in DC and 43 in London. We'd better start sending you those brollies and thermals in red cross parcels. . . . . :D
Where could you possibly have in mind, I wonder? Obviously not the UK, which this caricature doesn't remotely resemble - and I have lived here for the last 62 years, so I have a fair idea how things are...
