but you guys have more efficient cars and the tube and high speed rail
efficient cars - yes
tube - you're assuming that the tube covers the entire country? or that all 60m people in the uk live in london?
high speed rail - no.
you really are an idiot sometimes.
there are underground rails system in Liverpool, Glasgow and Newcastle. Where there isn't there is a efficient overground tram system i.e Manchester. Our bus infrastructure is good too.
Secondly, it is a high speed rail infrastructure (and well integrated), its just not a high speed as the French TGV, German ICE or Jap Bullet Trains. Those locomotives you see are known as HST's i.e. High Speed Train. And anyway plans are in place to bring ICE/TGV equivalent a super high speed rail line will be created from London Euston to Birmingham then splitting into a V shape, one going to Manchester --> Glasgow and the other to Leeds --> Edinburgh.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
