We've been down this road before. I don't mean you, nor me, nor many posters here on urban, nor indeed probably about a million british people, bearing in mind that i can have no definitive handle on actual numbers.
But when i say people, i expect posters to understand that i mean the majority.
As for me sitting in thailand, this line of argument is tiresome. If you go by it, then you'd have to stop sitting in britain going on about america, for example. Why is it that you and others don't want me harping on negatively about britain just coz i am not physically there? Where does this bullshit come from man? How come so many british posters see fit to complain about america, yet they say i can't complain about britain coz i'm not there??
