I am just in the 1% top UK earners working 25 hours a week from the comfort of my sofa with my average European education, broken English and working class background.

I feel shame for how easy was for me to get a great life in this country when most locals struggle with social mobility.

I get that full fat coke is an idiomatic phrase but it stems from honest ignorance towards macronutrients. I am a diabetic type 1, I had to explain that carbohydrates and alcohol can affect your blood like sugar to endless British people lol

Please, if you are monolingual and monoculture, just have some healthy skepticism about well eradicated habits in this society. That’s what I want to inspire in my friends

I lived here for over 20 years. Speak other two languages natively because my parents were from two different European countries. This is an informed opinion not hearsay!

You don't understand. It's literally just a reference to full-fat and semi-skimmed milk, like a small joke. It's OK to not understand, you're not from the UK, but it's a bit outlandish to turn your own failure to understand a very basic joke into grand claims about British education lol.

I think you've just been living in the UK too long and should probably go home. You sound completely depressed. 20 years in a country you hate populated by people you despise sounds like Hell. It's not too late to make a change. Where's home for you then?

I don’t hate UK, otherwise I wouldn’t be so critical about it, I wouldn’t care if I hated it.

It’s okay if you wanna keep the head in the sand. I get it. It’s better if you don’t know any better. People who are themselves ignorant cannot see other people gaps.

Btw look up the reasons Coca Cola rebranded the Coke Zero to Coke Zero Sugar, and why it all stemmed from UK.
