Sounds a fair description of some of the negatives of British society.
Having travelled a bit on this planet, the thing about the drinking is accurate. The Germans seem to generally behave themselves despite their drinking culture yet in these islands (that includes the Republic)there is a "problem" shall we say.
Anti-intellectual - very true.
Now I am off to mark the holiday weekend (which is being observed by work although it is not a Scottish Bank holiday) by going to the only Samuel Smith's pub in Scotland (in a seaside village beside Edinburgh). Have not been in one since I was last in Manchester two years ago.
One pint of Yorkshire "pure brewed lager" here I come.
