Warmer perhaps, but that doesn't matter that much When all you have is rain. It isn't brighter there at all.

Pretty comfy, desu. The weather is one of my favorite things about the UK. The extremes of the Canadian climate (too hot in summer, too cold in winter) really piss me off.

It really doesn't rain that much except for Winter. There's lots of sun in the summer, days are long etc. The only thing that is depressing is that we haven't had proper snow in 7 years

>It rains more often than it doesn't
This can be tolerated.
>No seasons, no sun in summer and no snow in winter
>No sun, ever
This is great. It's much better to have mild winter and cool sunless summer than severe winter and crazily hot summer like in my country.
>Depressing shithole cities
This is simply wrong.

I have traveled to a lot countries and I still regard UK to be the most beautiful. UK is hugely disgusting in and around most major cities but out in the rural villages and small towns it is god tier. I live in Lancaster on the doorstep of the Lake District and I wouldn't ever live anywhere else.
>>
every day is a constant battle against suicide. I live in an industrial suburb of London so i get the high prices combined with shitty run-down warehouses and grey concrete everywhere. It's nice when i venture either into London or into the countryside, my ideal plan is to live and work in London for a while until i'm too old to party then go live in the lake district.

That is now a shoe shop; all 7 Poles that live here didn't go enough to keep it open
>>
>>72257727
How do those small shops survive from chain stores? In Russia, they almost don't exist anymore. People buy everything in malls.
>>
>>72257846
Mainly only the bigger cities in Uk have malls, smaller cities/town have city centres with store fronts which consist of a mixture of small stores and big chain stores, so it gives the opportunity for smaller stores to compete. I assume because smaller places are more communal there's more of an impetus to shop in smaller stores? Don't forgot we have many small towns and cities.
>>
>>72258357
That's good. Apparently, in Russia, we went full capitalism about this. Also, we don't really have historical places and it's easy to poke malls here and there.
>>
>>72258746
That is a huge factor for cities here in UK, most town/small cities have listed buildings, meaning they cannot be demolished (or it's near impossible) to make way for bigger stores.
In Lancaster we have something like 300+ listed buildings in the city.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listed_buildings_in_Lancaster,_Lancashire

Don't get me wrong we have malls in our small towns but they're not usually the main feature or destination.

Russia has more space than we do so I'm guessing it is easier to put malls everywhere?
>>
>>72259209
>Russia has more space than we do so I'm guessing it is easier to put malls everywhere?
Yeah, we have a lot of space but use only small part of it. Malls and chain stores are usually built right in cities or even historical buildings because of corruption and no one gives a fuck about cities' appearance.

As I know Churches are being used as bars and other leisure places not only in England. It's because of a decline of Christianity. I don't know what to do with useless churches 2bh. They are very usually very beautiful and are a historical heritage, but you need money to maintain it. In small cities, it won't pay off.
>>
>>72259851
Of course I understand that and it makes sense, but a bar? Nothing wrong with degeneracy and drinking desu but it just feels a bit disrespectful when it's housed in a Church? Maybe some other kind of function? In saying that, it was a popular spot so I guess it made loads of money..

Here is what Irish weather is like

40% chance rain
10% chance of miscellaneous weather such as fog, hail, thunder etc
5% chance it will be sunny during the winter for some reason.

In Ireland it is usually church of Ireland or some off shot protestant churches that get converted into bars and restaurant so nobody cares.
Never heard of a catholic church being converted.

I know of two churches nearby, one protestant one was turned into a house and the other into a restaurant.
House seems like a cool idea, would love to see inside it.

I love my country, but it's fucking wank
We have all of no mental health support
Our benefits scheme literally rewards people for taking away benefits, as in, you won't get paid if you don't cut x number of people's benefits
Our foods are all deeply unhealthy because the oil and fat are the only things that numb the pain
Life expectancy is the lowest in britain and probably in western europe fuck if I know
Our languages are both dead, one from our own stupidity and the other from the English
All the heritage in the central belt is demolished, my town goes back a good few hundred years and literally nothing from then still exists
All our parties are corrupt as shit and can't even keep the roads in a state where you don't have to worry about falling into the centre of the fucking earth
Drugs are so prevalent because we have nothing better
Our fucking parliment building was overbudget to the tune of what, several hundred million pounds? It might have "just" been several tens of millions, though, don't quote me
Our industry is ALL gone
We have no fucking jobs
Our energy is good, we're getting there with wind and offshore, but we need to do more
We import over 60 percent of our seafood
this isn't like rare japanese rapesquid, this is things like lobsters and salmon, the shite that we produce and sell worldwide
We're so dependant on imports because LONDON THE FUCKING CUNTS is dependant on it, and the laws are LOL LONDON WANTS THIS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT :^))))))) so we have to import as well
I try my fucking hardest and I can't even manage it because my benefits pay is so fuckign tiny
I have severe issues
I have literally gone days without eating because I just forget to, and the cunt at the office told me I'm perfectly fine because I could come to the office on the train
fucking cunt
I cannot see myself living past 40
I'll either off myself or die of a heart attack from stress induced eating
There is literally no way I can keep this up
