What is your opinion on the United Kingdom?

[apirateslifeforme]

I'm an Anglophile, 1000%! I would move there if it were feasible - I have visited and felt more at home there than here. I often come out with phrases/expressions and mannerisms that are natural to me, but others deem them very "British." The people are lovely and I love the culture!

The UK is a place I have always wanted to visit, but only did a quick plane change there while in the military.

Wonderful people, but they speak an absolutely incomprehensible language. I wish they'd learn English!

Ond mae'r mwyafrif ohonom yn ddwyieithog!

The OP's question is too vague and likely you will get replies all over the map based on what others THINK you are asking.

And if you are not ‘on’ UK soil, why are you even answering.

Here we go!

Here we go!

You mean this?

Only thing I didn't like was pay public toilets.

You have to ‘spend a penny’.

Great history and great culture in classic literature.

Standard of living ( what you get compared to what you pay ) is low compared to rest of centrslEurope. One pays a lot to sleep or live in a dump. Cost of living very expensive.

great place to visit but of the many countries I have visited I would not actively choose to live there ( too expensive for my standards) If would be transferred they would have to pay me a hella lot more to maintain my standard of living.

It’s also more diverse than many like to admit.

That’s like saying Voldemort aloud!

He isn’t real, you know!

Voldemort doesn't have a catchy song.

See what I mean?

I’m sure it’s higher than Thatcher. The UK has a long history of classism.

1. I was quoting an American
2. Head of State of a constitutional monarchy is not the Prime Minister. It's the monarch.

I think that the UK is great. I love the history and beauty and everyone I have ever met from there has been super nice. That would be my second choice after the Netherlands of places I'd like to move to.

Yahooooooo!!!! Go Netherlands!
Douze points pour les Pays-Bas!

Just dress in orange and you will fit in perfectly!

It seems about on par with the US when it comes to racism/xenophobia/etc.

I went to London in '07 for a long weekend during my semester abroad in college. I lost my passport on a pub crawl the first night so that was a memorable time (the hostel's cleaning crew found it on the sidewalk outside the next day, so I did get it back thank God). The exchange rate was awful at the time, so everything seemed incredibly expensive.

I love it!

As someone from the UK, it's a very interesting place to visit as you only have to drive 10 miles down the road and it's all new dialects. Plus it's four countries with very different ways of living as well as history. Just like America you can't take one state and match it with them all. Hope you are all well and having a good day

Have lived and worked in London and Edinburgh. My sister lives in England and my friends are English.

I loved living in London, I loved being 20 minutes by tube from Oxford Street. I had some amazing fun times in London and I miss those times and my friends.

I wish. It was one pound,that's $1.30 U.S.

aha, you fell for tourist trap places of paying for toilets, lol. I lived in London and there were plenty of decent, free toilets but it takes a bit of planning. Also if I did have to pay for a toilet, I would never pay more than 50p

My daughter lived in Leeds for a year and she said it was a pound everywhere there.
