New guide to 'irritating' England
England is a nation of "overweight, alcopop-swilling, sex- and celebrity-obsessed TV addicts", according to a new tourist guide book.

The latest edition of the Rough Guide says no other country is as "insular, self-important and irritating".

[...]

"The English have become obedient consumers rather than active citizens, with brand loyalty the nearest thing to religious/spiritual belief."
Oh dear. no.gif

I have, of course missed out the bits where we're complimented on our animal loving and out tea dring and other stuff. I mostly want to be maliciously inflammatory.

Finding hard to disagree with them. (obviously me & my friends are exceptions to [most of] that)

I keep meaning to ask.. what's an alcopop?

And if its any consolation, I'd rather be there than here.

It's fizzy pop (like lemonade or cola) laced with alcohol.  Popular with youngsters because it tastes sweet like soft drinks but gets them pi$$ed.  Usually comes in and drunk from bottles. aww

Ahhh yes. We've got those here as well. I thought it was something fun like alcoholic lollipops or Popsicles :)
