The UK is not crap, no   country is crap, and every country has some crap aspects.  The amount of crap you are going to see depends on how crap you feel your life is and the type of things you first notice in a park.   I doubt you would have had a child and settled down with an English woman if it was. I once visited Albania and no money on earth would have made me do likewise. I take it our free health care, our equality acts, and strong laws did not hurt either.

You complain about British people yet foreign people have always come over here and been able to live in their own bubble and imported little colonies in fact some have spent their entire lifetime doing this and no one has really bothered them or forced them to learn proper English. You can get help at a GP’s practice , engage with public institutions and many private ones in the UK without needing to speak a word of English , Muggins the tax payer will pay for such welcome pack goodies and take their chances with Cancer treatment waiting times down the local NHS should they need it .Try doing that in the Netherlands, France or any region in Spain you’ll be dicing with the grim reaper potentially  in many parts of the world you can’t get basic help without a intermediate grasp of the local lingo.

British people? Well, we are not all Greggs munching, weather moaning whingers waiting for the next piss up. Down the local Spoons. In fact, many British people don’t drink and don’t like the pub and can find a wide range of societies and groups to suit their own preferences.  Go into the Greggs equivalent in Spain and see how many Vegan or gluten free options are available in a day.  You can avoid British food altogether and find ingredients and several eateries that will suit your dietary requirements

We are not all English we are four nations with our own cultures’ traditions and languages and dialects.   Secondly despite our problems of which we have many we are one of the least insular nations in Western Europe. The UK provides interpreters free at the point of access to several nationalities when needs necessitates, that type of service is virtually non existent in Spain unless your speaking English.  You can rock up in the UK with piss poor grasp of the official language and still get a white-collar job or an important one at that Try doing that in Spain.

Another lazy gripe about our country is that our food is all greasy rubbish I lived in Spain greasy fried food was the norm daily there were no decent ethnic options to escape it and customer service and many other things I could mention in Spain are the epitome of crap.  People are miserable and seem entitled to their miserable ways in many cases that’s because they are locked to their job for life and probably feel inhibited from re-inventing themselves. The UK is re-invention central it is the type of country that homogenous Scandinavian countries pretend to be you can be everything to everybody in the UK Or nobody to yourself. In  Spain you are probably going to be having a similar type of day to the one you had twenty years ago

No country is entirely crap. Lets face it if it was crap you'd have gone back to where you feel you belong and not settled down with a English women and had a child . I'm guessing our free at the point of access healthcare , our modern culture of bending over backwards for every culture and strong discrimination laws (in comparison to many other countries ) ultra political correctness and workers rights (yes I know they have been eroded over the years ) with strong holiday and sick leave entitlement the norm in most jobs still stak up well against those of the American worker. I can't think of another country in Western Europe that caters for every dietary requirement and religious belief . Sexual orientation is protected by law and so are an assortment of learning difficulties , disabilities and mental health conditions . The UK is far more liberal and tolerant then overrated countries like the Netherlands who used to have a big rep as the heigh of liberal utopia , I visited the Netherlands a few years ago the place looks like it never left the 1970s and there are not as many food options even in big cities. By the way you mention the UK and harp on about English people when we are made up of four countries who enjoy vast devolved powers and strong cultures and traditions of their own . The prob for Johnny or Jane Foreigner is that they often go back home and moan about a London experience being + a UK experience , granted to explore the whole of the UK takes time and a lot of money the UK is not one of the cheapest places to visit , but I'd listen to someone who really gone deep into our cultures and history and then tells me that our country is rubbish. Which I can guarantee they won't. I also can't think of any other country in WE where you can rock up with a piss poor grasp of the national language and get a job in a Doctors surgery or as a Restaurant manager regardless of the fact that your English is limited . You can also get into University and College here without a good grasp of English , people will not see this as a barrier to making friends with you or including you in fact I'm sure that deficiency is now a protected characteristic. Try rocking up in Spain with a poor level of Spanish and see how far you get in society . In Doctors surgeries , CAB's and many other buildings you'll see a wall with a poster offering a language option list that would make the United Nations happy . If you phone the cops or need to go to court you'll get a free at the point of access interpreter ."it's the miserable British people who have to pay for that " Have you ever wondered why many of us are so "miserable . It's not the weather Sherlock . It's more probable it's down to our establishment bending over backward and rolling out the door mat for Jane and Johnny come lately. All of these welcome pack goodies come with a price like British people not being able to access essential health care like Caner treatments or other public support . People from abroad love to complain in a lazy manner how our food is terrible . The difference between the UK and Spain is that you can spend your whole life in Britain and not ever have to touch a crumb of our indigenous recipes. In fact generations of Indian and Pakistanis and many others for that matter. Have lived for decades in the British Isles and stuck to their own cooking and food preferences. In Spain you have Spanish food and a very limited amount of options for any other type of cuisine made well (with the exception of cuisine that originates from the countries of South America ) You don't even have to mix with us British people you can live in a bubble with members of your own community and moan about bad British food our miserable weather (have you lived in Canada ) and all us English people some of whom happen to be Welsh , Scottish , Northern Irish , Cornish etc etc. People have always done this now with the advent of the internet you can be a home away from home with no of the appalling factors which lead to the move , such as limited choices and homogenous autocracies , UK supermarkets are far more diverse and inclusive then Spanish ones all the way from Asda to Waitrose . I lived in Spain I married a Spanish women and she worked from 9am to 8pm the long Spanish lunch break is a sucker punch. In the UK you get a short lunch , ordinarily in the majority of cases you clock off before 6pm and people can change jobs and reinvent themselves a hundred times over without any great drama . I also found my Spanish had to be near perfect before Doctors and other emergency services would help me . I remember when I first came to the country they would refuse help or assistance even in some life or near death situations , Even with basic Spanish in the UK someone would phone you back and offer the services of an interpreter . There are many problems in the UK but why don't you up sticks with your family and live in Albania for a year then come back and tell us how crap we are?
