It's one of the things that makes me bang my head against the wall with frustration. Why can't people in the UK just be grateful for what they have got? I get really annoyed at some of the things that people say, for example comparing Britain with another country and going on and on about how much better this other country is. It makes me want to help them pack their suitcase and then say to them "Well if you like it so much, why don't you go off and live there then?"
Here's another example. I've had conversations with people in the past and have perhaps been talking about a new piece of technology that's come out in Japan before it has in the UK. These idiots then come out with a typically stupid response such as "And that is one of many reasons why you should make your escape out of this depressing dump whilst you still can!" Absolutely infuriating, and by the way, why haven't you left already?
send them packing somewhere else...
For goodness sake, I am perfectly happy with living and working in the UK no matter what problems befall us and it has to be said, other countries have their fair share of problems too. Clearly, the people who describe the UK as a depressing dump are the ones that can't appreciate anything good about this country and I'd sorely love to send them packing somewhere else! Why can't they just appreciate the things that are good about this country instead of concentrating on all the negative things?
I have spoken with people who have visited the UK from countries such as Israel and Russia. They have nearly all said that if they were given the choice of any country to live in other then their own, they would definitely come to the UK and that they love everything British.
Well I guess there are always going to be some countries that are 50,000 times worse off than the UK aren't there and and that's all the more reason to appreciate what we've got instead of slating it.
Just think of countries in Africa like Libya and Egypt with all of the constant war and deaths and extreme poverty! Do you still think it's so terrible to live here?

While I agree with the premise of this gripe, that wifi should be free on trains, hotels etc, after all it costs next to nothing to provide, I would counter that with WHY? as in why cannot people manage without their wifi-access-gadgets-toys?......ding ding ding ding.
The reasoning behind charging for wifi is probably the same as:
Leaving a large bowl of free sweets-nuts-crisps on the counter-table and people (kiddies) will help themselves until they are gorged, where as if they had to pay they would keep their pinkies to themselves and not touch.
Also there are the gluttons who will stream films and catchup tv to their device "because they can" if it is free.
It appears to me that no wifi equals no fix, as in drug addicts.
I would much prefer a free cup of coffee, Klingon of course!
Go to Eton then Oxbridge, get a degree in Seventh century French poetry, enter politics.
I can think of no other walk of life where such unqualified people have so much power.
Politicians are concerned about:
CIA torture
Phone hacking by journalists
EU emission targets
HS2
Their expenses
Joe Public are concerned about:
Immigration
Wages
NHS
Housing

Add on asylum seekers and Illegals
If only!!!
As I have pointed out in another topic, just try and emigrate permanently to Australia, New Zealand or USA, (my choice of destination) very very difficult, unlike the ease with which immigrants, asylum seekers etc. are let into the UK everyday.
This is why the UK is a hole and a dump. The people and culture are also a mess and need to bully and envy other nationalities in order to make themselves feel better.
It's so good not to have any money because you know you don't pay taxes you get council house plus pocket money for free including free medical and dental care.

The UK is a paradise and the people a delight in my opinion. Yes, I would come back if I could, tomorrow, without hesitation.
