I mean what does the average family in say Newcastle have to be so smug about? We're dealing here with a people that dont give a toss about what their children do at school, dont bother cooking beyond the use of a microwave, toss out their offspring at 18 and pass them on to social services/council, rampant teen pregnancies/STD's and divorce, rampant single motherhood, rampant step mothers fathers/childminders, chronic binge drinking across all social classes, fail to clean themselves appropriately in the bathroom, poor sense of morality, disrespect for the elderly (they put their own parents in a home!), poor sense of style, inmodesty in clothing, benefit dependency, spiritual bereftment.
Now English people might be good at building stuff and fighting a few wars but actually living properly you must be joking. You can't even get a coffee after 7pm in the large metros
