1. Why does british food have to be so bland? “English food” (as is not the ethnic food thats quite tasty throughout the UK) has few spices and is quite boring. Why did the British establish an empire all around the world and then not incorporate delicious spices, herbs, etc into their cooking?
2. How come nobody talks on public trasportation? Public transportation is often silent except for the sound of the train moving. In America and other countries, people don’t lose their social skills when they step on the subway. In the UK, it feeels that way.
3. With such great public services generally, I don’t understand why the British don’t invest in more uniform and easily readable street signs to clearly indicate the names of streets
4. Why can’t I buy groceries in larger sized packages? Don’t some people in the UK have big families? I go through my small carton of OJ every few days and wish I could buy a bigger size. Aren’t bigger containters more eco-friendly and isn’t the UK more eco-concious than America?
5. Why is the smallest bill a five pound note (slightly over 10 USD)? Don’t the Brits find having to carry around loads of change as annoying as I do? Its hard to organize in a wallet and it would seem to make more sense (and use less resources) to print one pound notes.
