As someone who lives in the UK, I can definitely second this. Companies and people just seem to be in no real hurry to get things done.
I just moved into a new home recently, and literally every step of the process has taken longer than it probably should have. Buying the property? Weeks. Getting details updated for energy companies and water companies? At least a week for one, and still waiting on the other. Internet? Oh boy, getting a new line installed is never quick, and OpenReach's efforts to make sure every individual and company can even get fibre internet seem to be going at a rate best described as 'glacial'.
There's definitely a feeling of 'eh, we'll do it when we get around to it' with many companies here.
