there was an internet cafe, it went out of business quite quickly. there's a lot of places closing down across all the uk due to our recession. including police cutbacks and (amazingly) has led to increasing crime.

there isn't as much open space in scotland as you might think, there's a lot of mountains and it's a relatively unoccupied country. as for football fields in cities this is something britain actually excels at, well.....that and football hooliginism. i personally can't stand football (i like american football though) because the 'professional' players act like spoiled children when playing and almost everyone who plays takes the game waaaay too seriously to make it any fun. i didn't actually get into sport untill my 20's because our schools p.e. only used to focus on football. i think that is slowly changing though, i hope.

as for stereotypes, as much as people may not like them they do apply to a large percentage of people. scottish - overweight pie-eating angry alcoholics (after the movie 'trainspotting' we could probably add heroin-addicts too), american - overweight dumbass obnoxious loudmouths. now neither of us, as well as many others, fall into our stereotype, but i can definitely vouch that the scottish stereotype has a large base of truth to it, and while i haven't met many americans they mostly fell quite close to the stereotype.
