You say England, I say...
Sunday 3 January 2016 at 18:38
Visible to anyone in the world
Rain
The concept of rain... it creates an idea of a place where nobody wishes to go. It's negative, drab and above all BORING. It seems like there is nothing else we can choose to talk about. But look- it's the first thing that sprang to mind as I was looking out of my rainy window..!
London
I've been to London twice- busy, expensive, complicated. Come to Manchester!
Queueing
Having visited countries that DON'T queue for things, I have to say that this is one thing I feel particularly pleased about. Queuing, in turn (no pun), demonstrates patience, respect and perseverance. Three good qualities. Go Brits.
Binge-drinking
It makes good headlines, and so it's always going to be present. Things like this are shocking to look at and to read about, and other cultural concepts, such as the Changing of the Guard at the Palace will never make the front page of the Mirror.
