  2.  @BritishLandeur  please,if you can , address me as "Pedja" , because "sir" sounds in my head like some butler is talking to me (or police officer). I have to answer , so that it'll be clear - there is underlying , as you've put it -"mono culture" in Serbia, but that is , mostly good old conservatism (on biblical basis). Actually , Serbia is , due to history , very culturally diverse , from north to south and east to west , but the main thing is family , community and in many cases God (we do have a large Muslim community in southwest and quite a lot Catholics in north and northwest , some protestants too) . However , in big cities it fades , because of the nature of organization of daily life ans size of the place . Gambling is not a problem , but there are a lot of betting shops and casinos etc...Most people there are spending money like people use to do on a lottery , in the old days , relatively small amounts (and if they win , they reinvest in further betting so that they can have a feeling that they are doing (like working) something). Mostly , it's a money laundry scheme (but that is in a political domain , I'll explain it to you sometime ). I personally know quite a few people that make living of those betting salons , because , we know sports. First grup that I mentioned is making that kind of business just about profitable. We don't have too many addictions (in a sense of problematic overspending) , but there are some , like in every society. I personally use those facilities , if I need to go to the toilet , or if there is no cafe around , when I wait for someone. I don't know how to fill the betting ticket. About disintegration of society - I was born in Yugoslavia. For 35 years I've been watching various stages of disintegration and degradation. I do get what are you saying about Britain , because , when I was little , in TV programs for children , I was watching Survivor (wild animals program) , David Bellamy , You've asked... My forst encounter with "English" humor (I was still little) was Benny Hill . later it was Dave Alen and in my late teens and early adulthood - it was "Only fools 'n' horses" and "Cafe Alo Alo " , "Open all hours" and many more... Quite a few friends lived in GB (mostly London and Oxford) , but , unfortunately , that faze (cultural . economical , that kind of spirit and behavior , if you will) is gone. World , as it is (therefore GB and many other countries , mine included) - isn't normal. We've reached a sort of tipping point , so it'll take some time (up to decade) to get things , somewhat at least , in order (whatever that order may be). Terry Pratchett did mentioned something about "interesting times" . So , head up and buckle up.
