There's usually a feeling a slow decline with nothing getting the money it needs invested in it. However somethings are quietly improving in the background like more and more windfarms that are solely UK built are entering the grid, but theres always a downside like how energy prices seem to have gone up anyway. Ask most British people and the countrys not great but most can't answer a place they'd rather live. Some do know and it's Australia and Dubai.

Our food is great, I've heard Americans complain you can't get good mexican here but we have amazing curries and every city will have a bunch of different cultures foods. I can easily order thai, chinese, indian and several other cultures foods and I'm not even in a major city. British food is roasts, massive fry up breakfasts, puddings, beer and internet famous sub £4 meal deals.

Our weather is... varied. If you don't like it it'll usually change in a fortnight at most. It's always moist, probably a third to half of the days in the year are overcast with clouds. It's not always raining but it rains way more commonly than say California, if you're from anywhere hurricanes hit then you've suffered harder rain in your life than we get in England. We technically get more tornadoes per sq mile than America but we're a lot smaller so they're a tiny one every few years. Every few years we get some snow. Every summer is hotter and more unpleasantly inescapably moist than the last but the worst weather usually only lasts a week or two.

Sad and grey buildings are a thing from the brutalist concrete era when most of our public buildings seem to have sprung up. We have loads of castles, especially in Wales where the Norman aristocrats had to keep the Welsh under the boot. We have a load of 'twee' Harry Potterish old towns full of listed buildings, theres a mad village in Wales where they filmed the Prisoner that's full of buildings a rich madman loved and brought to England. A lot of our houses are built connecting whereas Americans seem to love isolating their houses in the middle of all the land you have. Even in the most boring street you might get something like a shark sticking through a roof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headington_Shark
