    Anyway, the mighty ol' England;

    Pros;
    -We have a royal family!
    -People may complain about the weather, but I like it! Cold and rainy in winter, cold and marginally less rainy in summer
    -We do make the most brilliant beer.....

    Pros about my town specifically;
    -It's like a mini London, has almost everything you could want
    -There's like 150 pubs in the city itself (or were until the recession hit)
    -Within 8 miles, you can go from the inner city, to complete countryside, so it's very variable.

    Cons;
    -Most English youths are complete expletives.
    -The government is about as useful as a chocolate teapot
    -We're turning into America-lite

    Cons about my area specifically;
    -I live next to the biggest council estate in Europe
    -The second most densely populated district in Great Britain
    -Havant (the borough) has the highest concentration of chavs per square mile in Britain. For you american people; http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chav (Warning: Colourful language at points)

    EDIT: Side note about chavs, no-one hit the exact origin on UD. CHAV is actually a police acronym, it stands for Council House And Violent. Just thought it might interest someone.
    Don't worry if you lived in america you would never get away from that epidemic, it really should be diagnosed as a pandemic. People like that are the reason I hate going anywhere cause it always seems there is some P.O.S. "im hard as nails and 8ft tall" who is maybe 15yrs old who feels it is good for his image to talk mess, im still waiting for one to do it when there ain't cameras or other people(good people not other people like themselves) but it seems they have a natural survival instinct.

    edit: forgot to mention my town, well the only pro is that it is in Texas and I love living in Texas, cons....pretty much everything, it doesn't have really anything here and has been overrun by drug addicts and theives.
