The weather the only problem with the UK?!
How about the absolutely abysmally bad accomodation choices we have to put up with, the rip off restaurants and bars, the severe lack of parking.....the fact that the VAST MAJORITY of the UK is an absolute cesspit with the odd exception and those odd exception are way too crowded anyway....the fact that you cannot even go into the sea as not only is it freezing, it's filthy full of raw sewage.....the UK is a depressing dump.... remember being in Bosnia the year before last and thinking how much nicer it was there then it is here......
Example of the points I have made = I really like Dartmouth in Devon. Pretty stunning place...but yet the accomodation there is few and far between and the accomodation you can get is a complete rip off. It's a nightmare to park and there are hardly any restaurants despite being a popular place.

king drama queen. Whether you like it or not, everything you've written is just childish hyperbole - go and have a tantrum somewhere else. Good grief.Antony Moxey said:

When we do the AirBnB & hire car type of foreign holiday, we eat out a lot, but even when do we cook for ourselves it's always interesting to shop locally. Not sure visiting an ASDA in a different town in the UK really cuts it on that front.
Why would you go to Asda? If you went to Devon for instance wouldn't it be better getting food from local farmshops/butchers/bakers/candlestick makers?MightyBadger said:

You could indeed, but it's still not going to be anything different to what you can get at home.
Come to sunny Wales and you can get laverbread in the supermarkets. You can't get that iat home n your bloody England supermarket, see? Because no one would buy it because it's horrible. Oh, hang on ...Antony Moxey said:

Good grief.There are some awful rip off places in the UK and there's no denying that there's sewage going into the sea. You have to pick and choose where you go but all these points are true of most developed countries.

I think drama queen is going a bit too far. I'm a great fan of the UK as a holiday destination but the posters points have some validity. And Bosnia is a bad comparison as it has a lot of nice places.

23% of coastal settlements on the Med put untreated sewage into what is basically a big lake.

The Med is the most polluted sea in Europe.
Plenty of Richard the Thirds floating off French Atlantic beaches too.
