And another somewhat more pointed:

"Let's not avoid the truth here. The problem is Britain and the British people, and not politics or anything like that.
Look, you're a useless people when it comes to organizing things. Inefficiency seems to be the national value. The railways are an obvious example. Every time I visit Britain I am further amazed how how much crap Britons will put up with. The last time I was there, the rail companies shut down a large chunk of the network.... on the busiest holiday weekend of the year.
The last great piece of reliable technology made in Britain is probably the Supermarine Spitfire. Even that was an aberration. When I was a kid "British made car" was a synonym for "lemon".
If I go into a shop in the UK I practically have to smack a store employee in the face to get any service - half the time they are talking to their friends on a cell phone. British banks suck beyond belief, and ordinary goods are ridiculously expensive (rip-off Britain). If only Britons could understand that the purpose of a job is to create value for the community, and not to work out increasingly arcane rules for the benefit of the employee.
How you managed to con them into giving you the Olympics is beyond me, but I predict disaster. It's the same with the England football team. It has great players, but can't get organized to save its life.
You're a crap country and the Scottish will be better off on their own."

Heaf Row. The Troof is out there.

Using comments that are equally as idiotic to back up your own claims doesn't do you any favors. "You're a crap country and the Scottish will be better off on their own." Seriously? Then make me happy and p*ss off out the union then, is what I say to that. I'd like to see how the scots do without the ENGLISH paying for their health care and free university education.

Greg, you call terminal 5 a failure, and it has been open less than a week. I'm sure in a few years time when everyone has forgotten about the problems (just like they seem to do with all the other airports)

T5 has been built, soon terminals 1 and 2 will be knocked down and replaced with Heathrow East, and both terminals 3 and 4 are being modernized. Heathrow will be one of the best airports in the world by the time the Olympics comes, and that will be just another thing that London has that is bigger and better than what most other places have.
