Don't take it that I slagging off Brit runways. They are much better in the wet which is what the majority of the bad wx they have to deal with.
They don't get the same level of constant rain that we get and they have 4-5 months of snow which we don't.
So things have be optimised in both places for the conditions.
Although I would say the UK needs to go and have a visit to learn some of the surface management techniques/ what actually works and is acceptable instead of shutting the runways down for sweeping when they have a bit of spin drift going across them.
