Why can't people in the UK just be grateful for what they have got? If they like other countries so much they should just pack their bags and move! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a977.asp I am a UK citizen but never have I felt less so than upon returning to the UK via Heathrow airport. Having spent nearly 2 weeks abroad, returning to the UK should have felt like returning home... http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a859.asp The disastrous earthquake rocked Haiti a week ago and we still don't know how many Haitians are affected. The problem is the time it has taken for food aid and water to be distributed. How patient do they expect the people to be? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a831.asp You Americans really have got some nerve haven't you? I'd have thought the name would give an enormous clue as to the origin of the language. How dare you lay claim to our language when you can't even speak it properly. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a655.asp The typical British holiday maker in Spain, don't they make you just want to cringe? Ordering chips with everything with no attempt made to try a little Spanish, wandering around half naked, white blubber just hanging out. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a631.asp We have just come back from staying in Las Vegas for a week. My main gripe is that horrendous Green Card we all have to fill in before landing in the US. Are they really paranoid or what? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a579.asp There is a distinct lack of patriotism in this country (some may say with good reason). You can't even compare with how fiercely patriotic American, Australians, South Africans and Scandinavian countries are. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a573.asp I'm very interested in belonging to a caring, more spiritual community. And by spiritual, I don't mean one wracked by traditional dogma. I don't wear dreadlocks and I don't conform to stereo-typical images of such communities. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a552.asp I'm sick and fed up hearing about religion on the news and in particular, that yet another pupil has been excluded because they felt the need to manifest their religion by wearing some article of clothing or jewellery. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a511.asp We mustn't teach our kids to be British. How silly is that? Britishness in its original true form has shaped the world for hundreds of years rightly or wrongly, depending on your view. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a425.asp
