There doesn't seem to be a strong working class culture like what we have in the UK, everyone is (trying to be) painfully middle class. There are thousands of varieties of red wine, but only 2 brands of beer, and they taste the same anyway. Their version of a pub (or dive bar for our US friends) is a brightly lit cafe with plastic furniture, not exactly a place for serious plotting, wild adventures, or an ill-conceived horror story. Hard work is for poor people - in any case 'work' is a social function more than an economic one, wealth is acquired (preferably by birth) not created. Everyone lives with their parents - in their heads if not actually.
Feels like an endless Sunday school here sometimes, I wish they would actually go and do something, even something bad and wrong and horrible (no, corruption does not count, that is just sly and underhand. Neither does faking an injury Ronaldo, we haven't forgotten).
