What is good about being in the UK? [140]
How is crisps off-topic? It's sth I really like about the UK. It's a general discussion on crisps and on a minor tangent at most. Shawny talked about diversity and different directions before and he was right.
So, please point me to where I went off-topic.
Not necessarily you Seanus but the topic is "What is good about being in the UK?". We understand about topics going in different directions but this is turning into one about crisps, not the original point of the thread. It's just heading off topic. Thanks.'A couple of my Polish friends have said food' (PD, post 9)
'My friend said food was one of the good things in the UK' (PD, post 15)
It is about what Polish people think after all ;) ;)
Crisps are an institution in the UK. We have a major crisps culture and, for me, is a good thing about being in the UK. PD, no offence if it is you moderating, but absence makes the heart (taste buds, lol) grow fonder. There is a lot to discuss and other posters were keen too.
Don't laugh but people build careers around crisps, it's a big industry in the UK. I enjoyed good crisps and love talking about them.
There is no rule as to how long to stay on one topic. There IS a rule about religion not being part of it but there are numerous threads on it.
OK, let's say Scotland. For me:
1) Forest walks and the fresh air there
2) The range of international cuisine
3) Pub lunches
4) Cycling routes
5) The interesting range of accents
6) Golf
7) Watching local footie games
8) Some aspects of multiculturalism
