What is it like living in the UK? I find it interesting.

Changable weather is key.  It can rain and be cloudy in the summer.  London gets highs of 25-30 degrees centrigrade and it gets colder further north you go.  Nice green areas, coasts, Dolphins in two Protected locations.  Brighton has a thriving Subculture of Punky Hippies who are very colourful in their dress, music and sport mulitcoloured dreads/Mohawks etc.  TV is good.  The soaps are like dramas instead of melodramas, The chocolate is nice.  Too much drinking for my liking and peer pressure.  Divided incomes/classes at the moment - food banks, Benefit caps, Scottish Independance campaigns going on at the moment.  Continuous Bad NHS service, poor services for elderly and cancer patients.  Pointless "re-development" plans for high speed railways instead investment in NHS etc.  However, there are loads of beautiful countryside, coasts and tourist places, old castles and monuments.  Stonehenge, summer festivals to attend and to watch on TV.  Great music most of the time.  Scandals of Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris.  Wimledon, Football World Cup and The Commonwealth Games is held in Glasgow this year.  UK moving towards more environmentally friendly actions like no plastic bags, recycling, organic and fairtrade products.  Skater subculture where I live.  Cornwall is said to have good Surf.  Loads of slanty rain.  Scottish/English rivalry;  Tesco stores everywhere;  Racism;  pointless celebrities from Big Brother and other shows; The X Factor and other talent shows etc - always shouting for the underdog.  Loads of Tea!! RAIN.  Great music history. 

Well anyway it is OK.  Cyberbullying is a problem, politics etc.  Fracking. 

Weather: As mentioned above it can be very unpredictable. It's not unusual to have sunny spells and downpours in the same day. :D The weather is something we are a bit obsessed with in this country, it's a very common topic of conversation.

Media: On the right end of the spectrum you have the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, the former of which is obsessed with cancer, immigration, Muslims, youth crime and the benefits system. The latter has a thing for Princess Diana and barely a week goes by when they don't print another Maddie McCann story. :D Further to the left of the spectrum you have the Guardian and BBC News. Other major names in the media include Sky News, ITV News and the various "red top" papers such as The Sun (famous for it's page 3 girls).

Food: A very wide spectrum. Fish and chips is our most famous dish. Multi-cultural cuisines such as Indian and Chinese are very popular too.

TV: Reality TV is very popular, with Big Brother and the various "talent" shows being amongst the most talked about. Our biggest soaps are Hollyoaks, Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Eastenders. Unlike US soaps they tend to be gritty rather than corny. Popular sitcoms of the past and present include Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Father Ted, Little Britain, The IT Crowd, Gavin and Stacey, The Inbetweeners and Mrs Browns Boys amongst many more. Other popular programmes include Doctor Who, Luther, Sherlock and various US imports such as Breaking Bad.

People: Predominately Anglo-Saxon, but there are plenty of other ethnic groups too, especially in major urban areas such as London or Birmingham. Quite reserved but generally pretty friendly depending on the area. Smaller communities tend to be more close-knit than larger cities.

The cost of living is very expensive, with average house prices at £250,000. Energy bills are rising faster than ever, while more and more families are living on the breadline (the use of food banks is at all-time high). This is a very controversial topic in the UK at the moment.

The dominant religion is Christianity although very few Christians are practicing, with church attendance in the UK being one of the lowest in the world. Furthermore the 2011 census showed a 10% increase in people who declared themselves to be of no religion over the previous census. Muslims are the second largest religious group after Christians, with a 2% increase in the same census.
