As an American who is totally enamoured with historic districts, a trip to England would be a dream.

With the U.S being the reds across the park....
Only kopites would claim to be world champions after winning a Stanley Cup, a World Series, an NBA title or a Super bowl.
Without question the greatest Nation on Earth.

Please put a team on the field in any of the said sports and test your theory.
Also hockey doesn't do that. Show Canada some respect ffs.
Land of soap and tory.

A grand mixture of cultures, drawn from invaders and the conquered. Historically bereft of a soul or conscience and living off distant 'glories'.
Comes complete with bigotted baggage and a class system that keeps the few rewarded by the hard work and abject misery of others.
Keeps voting for the same. Time and time again.

The voluntary serfdom is unbelievable
The only nation that calls nation-locked and locally-based tournaments "world cups/trophies/series". Mind boggling.
Like winning a local 5-a-side tournament and proclaiming yourself World Champion lol
It's why Canada is superior.
England's alright. People are mostly okay, government is weird, obsessed with queues and tea, memes are alright. 5/10.

Confusing Brits and English. Was that intentional?
England is his city, or so I hear.

When people say to me ‘England’ I immediately think of:
a) bad tattoos
b) Spoons
c) sweat

Almost poetic prose this!I love going to England - mostly for Everton matches mind you. My first visit was 1980..
I have never found prejudice as an Irishman or latterly my wife and daughter, but obviously I have never lived there. My late father absolutely loved the 7 years he worked in Harrow from 1955, and (mostly) English people have been happy to welcome Irish people to live amongst them. Let's ignore the minority who had the infamous signs in their boarding house windows.
The past is a distant country, and I would love to see England and indeed the UK coming back into the EU if only because it would make things easier in terms of trade and travel.
As a family we have driven around Cheshire, Lancashire, Somerset, Warwickshire and Yorkshire. We met wonderful people and saw beautiful countryside. We particularly enjoyed Stratford, Bath, Wells Chester and the Peak District.
I can't really warm to London, not because of the people, probably because it is just too big. I am a Dubliner, but 32 years living in Kilkenny has spoiled me in terms of no traffic jams and so much less stress. TBH going back to my native city for matches, flights etc is a pain in terms of how long everything takes.
For the same reason I found going regularly to Brussels in my previous life as a chore - Belgians are fine but in Brussels they seem to be always in a hurry, and haven't time to chill. Brugge is very different.
I want to see more of England, particularly the historic places.
The Lake District. Devon and Cornwall would be particularly on our list,
Still, nothing beats a pint in the Winslow before going across Goodison Road !!
