This Reddit thread has a heavy emphasis on the negativity. Certainly not here at C-D, lol!

What are your thoughts?

Yes there is the bad stuff, but out here in the sticks, it may cost more to live, but we have clean air, and on the whole, nice people.


The bad stuff is mainly government created, and really can't be changed.

My wife baked some chocolate chip pecan cookies for the holidays.
Life is good.

I've never visited the UK, but I found the people who work at Heathrow to be unhelpful and gave off snobby vibes whenever I've been there for a layover/connection. I'm not sure if this applies to London or UK as a whole.

Heathrow is no longer the busiest airport for international passengers in the world (stats are for 2021). It's not even the busiest in Europe.

  2. 26 466 169 ISTANBUL, TR (IST)
  3. 25 488 783 AMSTERDAM, NL (AMS)
  4. 22 697 490 FRANKFURT, DE (FRA)

Having flown into many airports around the world I’d say many had similar attitudes, but the worst attitude was Newark New Jersey , talk about rude. Big mistake to use the attitude of airport staff to judge a country of city.

Worst airport by FAR=Newark. Rude, unhelpful, don't tell you that your flight gate has been changed until it's too late.

What don't I like about British culture? Probably all the drinking. I drank back in college days and even today I'll have a glass of wine but you go to England and it's drink, drink, drink. Go out Friday for drinkies. Meet after work and you get stuck paying for rounds of drinks for people you don't even know. I've seen vomit on the pavement (sidewalks) in cities the morning after. Too much emphasis on drinking. But I love just about everything else, especially the food.
