Review Summary: very poor
Overall Score: 1/5 Overall score - 1Overall score - 1
Review: Curiousity aroused by the recent publicity given to the hostile comments in this series about the UK and london in particular, I decided to take a peek and keep an open mind. Nasty Anglophobic rubbish is the best description i can think of. Some of the comments (such as the aforementioned about showers) would be deemed racist is spewed out about any other country or race. Also one particular point really annoyed me. the descroption of London as "crime ridden". Im well traveled enough to know that that is absolute rubbish and there are enough stats to prove otherwise. As a series these fall well short of the standards set by the Time out and Rough guides... they really are wasting everyones time.
