Now i know we all the love the UK as proved by the various "what do you like the most about the UK" blah blah blah type of threads.

But tis not a perfect wonderland and their are plenty of things that may "grind our gears" so to speak.
Get it off your chests no matter how petty.

I'll start with the M25. No matter what time of day you will get stuck in a jam on that tarmac circle of despair!

London, Most think it's paved with gold but in truth it's a toilet filled with arrogant, loud and orrible little cockneys.

TV licensing - For F**k sake, really?

Katie price, why this bint is so popular is beyond me. It's like a barbie doll took a S**t, gave it lips and painted it orange and then had the nerve to let it breed.

Roundabouts, They're everywhere.

Chavy mum's with 5 kids. You know the type.They litter our town centre everywhere. An anchor tattooed on their arm with mum written on it.
The doting daddy pushing the stroller with can of stella glued to his hand, lit *** that never leaves his lips. Accompanied by the type of brats you would kick off a cliff if no one was looking.

So that's just a few to get the ball rolling.
Anybody else

I'll be controversial but honest;
* the NHS is total shXt, but its the unconditional belief that it is awesome that I find annoying;
* the royal family: total waste if space. Again, the support without a rational thought process behind it.

Chavs, high cost of living, the weather, crowded, the press, the constant criticism of other cultures (especially the US), the anti immigrant mentality.

There are some things I miss about the UK.. just not all that much.

To be honest Ian I am a little disappointed in you! Of all people, as the most anti British/Britain person there is on this site, I thought perhaps your list would run into several pages?
