In some ways England is more liberal than France but I also find it more intrusive. But when you go abroad you have to accept the ways of where you live. I have to respect that.
There were years when I was a beer and tequila guy then I got real fat. And then I found that you could actually go on a diet and drink scotch. Then I got hooked on scotch and if you get hooked on scotch then everything else just tastes wrong.
