Most overrated - a thread about overrated things

^ Isn't everything shut on Sundays in Spain?

Civilised.

also contributed to a longer working hours already on top of the longest working hours in Europe.

Shop closed everywhere else around the world, why should London give the impression to the world that shop should be open indefinitely?

Don't forget siesta too, France the same.

I remember when London used to have shop that closed for lunch.

Only independents close in Spain for siesta. Chain stores will all stay open, even small independents in the larger cities stay open during lunch time these days. Siestas are becoming a thing of the past.

Sunday's are still sacred though.

You people make me sick. Why aren't you out shopping, and actually* helping* the economy?

Supra and Visvim, what's the point?

Exactly. Very civilised indeed.

Because we're a "24hr" city. If the transport kept running and wasn't filled with axe-murderers after about 12.30pm then fine and dandy, but how the fuck do people get home when the hours run later. At Christmas, we rarely leave the store before midnight having tidied up after the tyre-kickers have fucked finally fucked off after causing utter carnage.

I do too.

Sundays are sacred there because "family" is still considered to be important. Cameron and his performing trick monkey/tea bitch (delete as applicable) rattle on about "Broken Britain" and do less than zero to encourage a society where it's important...

It doesn't help or assist the economy - you just end up with a workforce that detests what it does for a living.

That's it. I'm moving to the continent.

Or Australia. Better work/life balance there too, and I have a passport.

Australia can't be that good - they're all fucking here!

Avoid Shepherd's Bush on a Sunday morning - fixie-skidding through Fosters and VB infused vomit can has been known to erode even Ed-proof tyres.

What, 33.3's?...

Those tractor type fuckers that defeated him.

All the more reason to go there then.

There has to be a reason why they're here. Is it that bad there?

even hippy who continually complains about the UK, is still here instead of returning to the penal colony

He keeps going back there.

And then coming back here.

Quorn, pointless and vile.

Not the best, but not the worst.

I've been a vegetarian for over ten years and until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't tried it for a similar length of time. It's even made me contemplate becoming an omnivore again.

Quorn is crap. If you're into meat substitutes, there are so many others around now that you don't need Quorn at all. It's not vegan, either.

Brompton use it when they run out of those little rubber bushes.

You never need meat substitutes of course.

Yeah. If you can't make vegetarian food taste good what hope have you got of with some macrobiotic fungi?
