The difference between US and UK culture is jarring. In the U.S. if we don't like something we just shrug our shoulders and walk away. In the UK they openly decry the product's existence. And their politicians love to verbally spar. Here politicians passive-aggressively don't clap during state of the union speeches. I love it.

A single obnoxious person in London leads to generalization about British people. News at 11.

I would love it if that were true, but on the whole people in the UK hate to complain, at least to anyone who can do something about their complaint.
And our politicians should all be shot. I'd like them to do something more then slag each other off.

You must be joking. The British are probably the most adept at quietly suffering, lest it come across as inappropriate (except when it comes to the weather). Americans are far more honest and loud-mouthed about problems.
At least from an Indian's perspective.

#8"One selling point the staff are pushing is that unlike traditional PC’s, Chromebooks get better over time with automatic software updates."
That seems a bit disingenuous. PCs get better over time with software updates as well.

I think what they mean is for a typical average non technical user PCs do get slower as time progresses whereas chromebook they claim will just get faster

I very much doubt that the average PC owner would agree that automatic software updates make their computer better.
