There’s too much bad news out there and I don’t think we realise how good we actually have it here. So I thought I’d start this thread so we can talk about what we are thankful for in the UK rather than what we dislike.

    People are generally friendly and helpful to strangers. It’s worse down south, but still good compared to many other countries, it’s a lot easier to just strike up a conversation.

      I always take the worse down south to mean basically London. Because I couldn’t live further south without standing in the sea all the time and to be honest, it’s all pretty friendly and chatty wherever I go, except heading towards London.

        Eh, not just about chattiness, but also sort of, treating each other well? Being helpful even if it’s an inconvenience, that sort of thing.

        Kent was horrible, Brumland as well. And aye London and all of it’s wider reaches, Surrey and the lot etc., which is basically half of the south.

        Still better than many other countries, but it’s just different up north.
