IF HOW YOU DESCRIBE THE U.K. IS ACURATE IT'S MUCH WORSE THEN THEN IN THE U.S

Britain is less Christian than the US, much less so. So from that point of view, Britain is dreadful.
However, there are some aspects of the proletariat-culture which are really beautiful which I do not think that you would get in America. America looks very money-oriented to us, very materialistic, very 'aspirational' or something like that. British people often find it distasteful and so do a lot of Europeans.
Europeans often say that they prefer to watch British television and film because the acting, physical appearances and the storylines appear to be more natural and down to earth.
Perhaps Hollywood is giving a silly impression of America to the world? I have not visited, yet, but I have seen US talk shows! American associates here in the UK have generally been really charming and sensitive though. Some of the Americans who visit Cambridge UK for summer schools are really quite dreadful. Saying 'Thank You' and really not meaning it at all. They just do not realise how vulgar they are!
Oh dear, we are really just terrible social snobs aren't we? Sorry!!!
