No explanation needed here, this is a club house for all of the TPU UK crew to talk about all things british or just to get together and do the usual British thing of moaning about everything non-british, we like to moan cause were British. Feel free to bitch, moan, whine, rejoice and just general chit chat for all us Brits about the things that make us tick or make our blood boil.

As the Op has done a runner and not been seen for ages, if you would like to join, just drop in and say hello, please make sure you have completed your profile information and it shows your town/county.

Technically coming from Scotland im supposed to never like the English or being British, no grudge against English people but for me im Scottish and i live in the UK. For me we are a part of the UK even tho i dont feel British.

Count me in then.

When people insult British they tend to forget Welsh and Scots are British too.

I WISH i was joking. I really do.

I'll join. Go UK :rockout:

Just had my Marmite crumpet for breakfast, lol :p

My fav tea is Tetley.

Things I love about UK:

- Aston martin (mmmm nice cars, so glad the American Owners saw sense and got the British to design them now)
- NHS (no really, cus its free! No "Can I take your credit card details first?" over here!)
- British Weather, as unpredictable as it may be, at least we dont need AC to keep our PC's cool in summer. And 12*C idle temps on a quad core in winter!
- The Pound! i dont want no Euro in my pocket!
- Oh yeah, and Marmite! :D

Things I hate:

- VAT! :mad:
- Not having as much choice as the US for Computer stuff. Come on newegg, cross the Atlantic! :D
- When Games/hardware gets released 3/4days after US. Why! :wtf: (Thankyou to Rockstar for not doing this with GTA IV)


Now a moan, I've picked up a damn stinking head cold in my final week of work this summer :( , (silver lining, i have the day off :) )

I hate that in the Census you can tick your nationality.
It has Welsh, Irish, Scottish, other and British. No English! WTF?

My name originates in Ireland though - in fact I am 1/8 Irish, the rest of me is Plymouthian though.

I would've liked a broader "British Commonwealth club" since it counts us Indies, Aussies, Kiwis, (some) Caribs, Canucks as well....a much larger clubhouse is forums.techpowerup.com ...includes people from all over.

btw Me likes Tetley

Best things about the UK

Football
Rugby
Tea
Its vast History (we invented tv and colonized half the world)
NHS
No Guns, No Capital punishment
We get the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games
Totally Free Education in most of the UK, dont think England has abolished Tuition fees yet
Newcastle Brown ALES!!!:toast:
Social security/benefits system
Welsh Valleys, English Countryside and Scottish Highlands
Smoking Ban (to me its good)
Fish and chips or just the chippy in general
Pubs
Weather spoons for cheap booze and food
REAL BACON not the US version or the Euro version and Square Sausage!

Bad things

Still got Nukes
Conservative comeback
Hardware prices are %25 + that of America
Tesco
Sheep Shagger Jokes for Wales and North of Scotland like Aberdeen.
Obesity
Teen Pregnancy
Too Many Murders
Knife Crime
Petrol Prices
Big Brother and Reality TV
Grandstand is gone!

Honourable Mentions TV programs rule over here have you even seen American TV, we have Top Gear and Mock of the Week and Red Dwarf even Jeremy Kile is something British.
