Recently moved to the UK - plenty of mind blowing

[jodalife]

I recently moved to the UK for a new job, the pay is good, it's nice being in a country where you can be completely independent, but I've been here for 3 weeks now and seriously getting mind blown by a few things.

- The food. People here eat really bad stuff, I went to the supermarket and saw this:


Mars milk?? As a southern European, I could not even fathom such a vile thing could exist.

But it got worse:


DEEP.FRIED.MARS.BAR



Supermarkets are riddled with poisonous food, there's chit food in every supermarket in the world, but here in the UK... aisles and aisles of poison, it just baffles me.

- Mobility scooters. Never before have I seen such wizardry. And it's not just fat people, normal looking men and women ridding these things.

- Newspapers. Yet to find a truly serious newspaper, seems like newspapers here range from slight drama to heavy drama (some stupid bish's tattoo'd ass in the cover), what's a decent newspaper if I want to get informed? I don't care about famous people or mobility scooter races.

- ATM machines. Can't figure these monsters, some are free to use, other's have fees... fuking sorcery.

- Quiet places to relax at night. Do they exist? Pub after pub of loud music and old people, plenty of clubs, but can't find quiet places to have a chat, or just to bring a book and read through the night

Enlighten me UK brahs.

[Mai91]

Battered mars bars are great.

[callum-2006]

Mars milk is basically a chocolate and caramel milkshake, you not have milkshakes back home?

any chippy north of scotch corner m8

[domstp]

Our food is notoriously ****, not going to deny that. But no one I know of would actually buy or eat the stuff in the OP, deep fried Mars bars are a novelty.

If you go to a decent area you wont see a single mobility scooter. I rarely see fat people on my campus of 30k students.

Decent newspapers are The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph. Most others are current event themed entertainment magazines.

Have never come across an ATM with a fee, are you using a foreign card?

As for places to chill, where abouts are you?

[aekest]

Moved to UK a year ago from New York

Food here is actually cleaner than in New York due to heavy restrictions and health standards.

[Sakeoe]

I thought the saying that people in the UK deep fry stuff that isn't supposed to be deep fried was just a joke.

Britain has tons of Indians and Pakistanis.

How do you feel living near a bunch of Pakistanis and Indians?

Do you feel alpha and aesthetic in comparison to them?

Are their women on your jock?

Are you mind blown by their betaness?

Please tell the misc. we want to know.

Dunno, it might be a northern/scottish thing. Didn't london only recently get greggs? Another northern delight. Dem pasties and sausage rolls.

[joaobrah]

[DawahFitness]

Tbh I'd prefer there to be an option of shizzy food, rather than all the good food being crappy as well. HGH Chicken? Not Even Once

UK obesity rates are quite high for europe i believe, the UK also has significantly higher rates of binge drinking than most other countries in europe.
UK is also notorious for ugly people outside of big cities (dfw hbbs everywhere in manchester, london, birmingham).

The UK also has terribly weather except in the south where its decent.
UK of peace.

[notional]

Mars chocolate milk is groce, and no one eats those deep fried mars bars lol

no one buys newspapers anymore try these:

So then life isn't so bad for Indians and Pakistanis, as their looks aren't that much worse.

[Kezzyukbrah]

I live in the north and its pretty quiet up here. Near the countryside so theres plenty of quiet beaches and a few miles down the road is the nightlife

[YangGuiZi]

Food and facilities suck.

Brb still have separate warm and cold water
Brb turn on the light by pulling a rope
Brb horrible plumming will barely flush down my bulk chits of peace
Brb tap water is full of white stuff

Well at least in Cambridge. Modern places in London can be better.

All the indian people I've met were really chill, no complaints.

it's called your bed at home you fukin weirdo, brb going to the pub/club to read a book.

I don't go to pubs and clubs to read books, but I used to be able to find plenty of relaxing places at night when I wanted to, chill music quiet atmosphere... some nights I just like to read with a drink close in hand, whyumad.

fuking lol'd.


OP are you american? Cuz if you are and you think the UK has some dirty food I got some bad newz...

I'm from south Europe, food culture is immensely different... did not think it would be this different though.
