Isn't income inequality in the UK only slightly better than the US? Not really something to be bragging about.

Minimalist Program posted:There's one next to the kitchen sink in this house and every idiot sink here is that kind with two tiny taps, one hot one cold, and no way for you to mix the two and so the hot water is scaldingly hot and the cold water is so cold you cant wash your hands in it without significant discomfort. You can , y'know just have a combined tap installed. I have one in my kitchen sink...they sell them everywhere. Although most kitchen and bathroom sinks do indeed have single taps for some bizarre reason.

I heard most of the UK doesn't have air conditioning, so in the few times that it hits like the low 80's people die from heat exposure. Is that true?

Quote-Unquote posted:lol sure it looks like a third world country but at least it isn't actually one like the US, where they don't even have proper access to healthcare and there is at least one mass shooting every day (plus the police going round murdering minorities every few minutes lmao) Pretty sure the tories have made the UK far worse than the US in that respect mate. I'm a Brit living in America merica and life here is far better for the vast majority than Britain. If Britain was a US state, it would be the 2nd poorest after mississippi lol.

You'll be glad to hear that despite my breakdown of the quintessential bbq experience on the previous page, American BBQ has been an 'in thing' for the last few years and despite it not really changing the landscape of the abominations that people perform in their backyards, it does mean we're inundated with restaurants that understand the concept of actual BBQ at least. From independent and awesome places, to crappy chain places that should be shut down you can't really escape them. This is the menu from where I go to in London whenever I have opportunity (Bodeans in Soho). It's pretty good. http://www.bodeansbbq.com/site/public/img/Menus_pdf/soho_table_menu_2.pdf
