Welcome back Wayne
I don't mean to be a tit mate, and am sympathetic to your point - but there is a lot of world out there that is a hell of a lot better than the United Kingdom.
I've been in the fortunate position to visit a good number of EU countries, including those in the east and south of the continent and found them all to be wonderful. Slovenia was a personal favourite. There is a lot we could learn from their people, but our 'ENGLAND IS DE BEST' attitude makes it impossible.
People from the Uk tend to be the most travelled people on the planet and have been for a long time. Not once has Joey or anyone else used that ridiculous phrase......and I suspect never would.......
