New England or Old England ( the UK), which England is better to live in?

New England or Old England ( the UK), which England is better to live in?

 

Never been to the UK but I'm New England born and raised. Like anywhere, it has its pros and cons. Bad winters, but great food. Decent waves, zero surf culture. Great football, heartbreaking basketball...

But it's a region and day-to-day life depends on which state you're in. New Hampshire (how I miss thee!) is a very libertarian and conservative minded state, but it borders a state nicknamed "Taxachusetts" and also borders Bernie Sanders' Vermont. Rhode Island is almost all coast, while Vermont is the only land locked New England state. Connecticut is kind of cut in half with one portion of the state feeling part of Boston and the rest of New England, and the other identifying more with New York.

 

You know New England is not part of England, right?

 

i've never lived in either. i prefer the architecture in odd places like washington state and oregon.
and the forests in the mountains everywhere. also like little people sized trains.
old england is kind of weak on forests, but the welsh have a lot of these wonderful little trains,
and as a whole, the automobile is somewhat less the god of transportaion policy then in the u.s.
which also goes for much of europe.

the problem for me, is there's no place that speaks a version of the english languege,
that doesn't seem to think their god owes anything to what they try to tell each other,
or that things in real life don't exist for their own sake, instead of just to be a backdrop for human drama.

my parents both came from that part of the world, new york anyway, the state and also massuhchewshits,
my mom from the city, i visited once when i was 11 years old, and wasn't real supper impressed.

but i've seen pictures, in parts of new york, watkin's glen, that look wonderful, and i have relatives i haven't seen in decades,
who live all over the east coast, but there's something, this collective narcessism of the 'american' attitude,
that the only way its grate is that it grates like a cheeze grater. the british i think, have a bit less of a hatred toward logic then u.s.ians,

and i think that's healthy, but i've also observed this isn't quite entirely accross the board either.

vermont, new hampshire and maine, i've just never been there and wouldn't want to get stuck there trying to find out.
ireland, scotland and wales, i just don't know either, other then i like pictures of the little trains. (but NOT most of what their architecture looks like)

i also think the british have the right idea about breakfast, though almost everyone agrees their food otherwise isn't particularly their strong point.

 

So that's where the name comes from!

 

England (Yorkshire) is best OBVIOUSLY!

 

most people have only either lived in one or the other so you are never going to know !
Thats to the OP !!

I think the fact that they called it New England kind of evidences that old England is better. They must have been in denial about not being in England anymore to pretend it was the new England.

 

i'd rather live in new england.
not because i especially like the sound of it, i just don't like old england.

 

Why does England have three names? I guess the US has two..."United States" and "America" people call it. It just seems weird that England is England, the United Kingdom, and Great Britain all at once.

 

the United Kingdom means Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
England is the part of it that is England.

 

..i assume Great Britain just means the same as United Kingdom? but yeah, neither are names for England.

 

Both has the same name, England.

 

I

I was only talking of 2 places that are Englands, one of which is in the UK, the other is in the us.

Both are Englands since they are called Englands.

 

I remember going there on a school field trip in second grade.
