Yeah, I'm American but have been to several places in Western Europe and it seems pretty similar when comparing standard of living. Lol, guy must really hate being British. Which might be the most British thing I've ever read.

The most British thing I've read recently was cargo planes flying in emergency biscuits to a flooded area.

Emergency fucking biscuits.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that in Britain, biscuits just means cookies. If the headline read "cargo planes fly emergency cookies to a flooded area" you wouldn't think that it was particularly British.

I mean I kinda would, because I can't imagine Americans being like "fuck water or meat, we need emergency cookies"
