Its not Britain.

Then why work or live there (I presume?)

Britains alright but its not lucky enough to be Ireland, their complete lack of understanding of the world gets on my nerves a bit, other than that its not so bad. But this whole Royalty lark, asking me where my Poppy is and not knowing I won't come out to celebrate Guy Fawkes just makes me want to facepalm.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

I would have thought Guy Fawkes was one guy who in whose honour I would allow someone to buy me a pint.

You getting the Guy Fawkes celebration back to front, for most of the history of this celebration it was used as a rally point to suppress, attack or intimidate Catholics or Irish. It found a great revival after the influx of Irish to Britain during and after the Great Famine.
