I married a Brit and she said they make cheese or gather cockles or go on the antiques roadshow. At least I think she said that, hard to understand through that accent.

32MB OF ESRAM posted:So all the streets are lines with 2-3 story houses, your roads are made of bricks and rocks. I guess they stuff mcdonalds and kfc's into the small houses and make them up to look like they belong, so people probably work there. We used to make lots of things like cars, textiles and vacuum cleaners, also dig up all the coal, but then Thatcher/companies outsourcing to Asia happened. If you're unskilled you basically have to work as a cleaner, in the service industry or go on welfare. Everyone in the North is unemployed because it used to be the home of the industries that got shut down and so there is retarded competition for all the remaining jobs. I guess handymen and people who install windows and poo poo is a job where working class people can still make decent money, or they can join the army or become a cop/postman/fireman/some other public sector role. In London people work in poo poo like finance, tourism, media and technology. If you're a smarty you normally do one of those or become a doctor/lawyer/teacher/academic. There's also scores of mediocre people working in offices for small businesses, as shown in the British The Office, but despite the fact my mother does accounts in one I'm as confused as you as to what these businesses actually do. Also chimney sweeps, fish and chips shop owner, and being one of those guards with the furry hats.

Britain shut its servers down decades ago, it's just diehard sperglords running private machines now. Like when the Halo 2 servers went offline and some dudes were like 'NO we will keep the multiplayer online as long as our xboxes are on!'

its seriously a third world country right now. its bleak, but the starwars analogy is that its more like endor than tatooine or whatever. its a loving cold, foggy swamp. its a shithole and people have it worse than 1940. its very sad.

There are werewolves. And homeless children in floppy hats who sweep chimneys. I think sometimes the werewolves eat the children, but if enough children corner a werewolf the hat's on the other foot.

Ever see A Clockwork Orange, OP? It's like an entire nation saw that movie and said, "That looks like a good idea," and then elected Margret Thatcher. The majority of the populace hasn't quite figured out that they live in an irrelevant and crumbling empire. The smart ones leave. They're trying to figure out if they're going to leave the EU or not. It doesn't matter, the EU is hosed too, but the decline is slower if they hang together rather than part ways. Oh, and their Prime Minister fucks dead pigs' heads. All day.
