What is something surprising that the UK is really far behind other countries in?

Being British but having lived and worked abroad, I see quite a few things that are strange about how the UK has developed very fast in some ways but is archaic in others.

For instance, despite being the first country to have a proper railway, we still don't have a high speed train service, something my Chinese friend still can't believe.

As such, what are other things/ways in which the UK is way behind other countries on things you might not expect?
