    Eda,

    Congrats on getting your fiancee visa ? well its full steam ahead to UK, I mean who could resist all this:

    Pi.... cold weather, freezing slushy streets, black ice, arctic winter, alarmingly rising council tax bills for 2007, the thought police, inflationary fuel duty, rising utility bills, political correctness gone mad, out of control housing market, chip and bin garbage disposal, re-cycling looney mad councils, and the nanny state lead by that pathalogical bliar.....

    Yes I can see your well looking forward to coming to the Mother of all democracies, the only place in the world, where you can be logged on the eye in the sky over 300 times in one day...

    The United Kingdom awaits your arrival with trepidation and a right Royal British welcome, hey I know what youre thinking ? who could miss all this ?

    Come on down...Eda, come and get your better life, your coming in, 500 Brits are leaving every day for a better life.....but as you have said, it feels like Christmas .... happy christmas Eda, welcome to UK, ...go on I will wish you well, whilst secretly planning my exit from a country that I no longer call home.

    Hey its not that bad really ?? you will be ok, your life will be better, you will be with the one you love, thats worth something, its a chance to see the emerald city at the edge of the rainbow, dont mind us, when you have seen the changes that we have seen or last 25 years, you get like this sometimes, dont mind me, I am just ranting, watching my beloved country spiral downwards, hijacked by the thought police, telling us what we can think, and what we can do, I dont want to spoil your christmas cheer, its great news girl, you got your visa, thats nice ! well done, you did things the right way, congrats, dont mind me ranting.....Im just fed up ok.

    Back in the 80's this country used to mean something to me, but they that is the guardianista's have changed all that, now I no longer know what it is to be British, when people ask me where I am from, I just say " I hold a British travel document" and am resident in the UK, they are the ones who have hijacked our culture, they are the ones that know...the enemy within...these days when I travel the tube (London underground) i end up looking at every single person who is a passenger, looking at what they are carrying, it should not be like that, but it is...trust no one...help no one..look after number 1, that is your key to survival...if you ask me what it is to be British, I can't tell you..our identity has slid away, we are fighting every day of our lives against the thought police, the politically correct brigade, when you come here girl, work for number 1 that is yourself, work to send money for your family, dont let anyone tell you, this is the land of honey and milk, dont beleive the cash flashers and the wealth braggers, life is hard here also sometimes, money does not fall off trees, life in UK can be very easy or it can be very hard, just when you think you have a break from the multitudes of taxes and bills, then it hits you again, more taxes, more bills, legislation and laws have increased by 3000 since this lot came to power, the Nanny state is ever on the increase, civil liberty and self sufficiency have all but been eroded by the guardianistas, our National Health Service, staffed by thousands of Filipino Nurses, ( I am proud of them) has been eroded from once the envy of the world, now it costs £15.00 to change a light bulb, is financially bankrupt, our road systems clogged up with millions of extra cars, our road taxes instead of being used to build new trunk routes is put back into the coffers of an uncaring chancellor, simply to be dumped into a huge gaping black hole.

    Oh well, Im off out to work today, do you know Eda its Saturday, this is a time when my wife and I go out shopping and have lunch, I cant do that today, I live in Blairs Britain, so I owe I owe its off to work I go....council tax has gone up 100 per cent, so I have to try and make some more money today, just to pay council tax, it is now P20,000 a month, do you want some of that ....no problem..come on down...come and meet Blair and Brown....

    Hey...who could miss out on all this !!!

    I have exactly the same feeling as you Pete with regards to this underground tube, I end up looking other persons faces and there was a curiousity of what they were carrying. Can't blame ourselves if we think like this but man whoever forget those terror attacks.
    There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.

    Pete.. Im telling you mate,you need to chill out a little before you give yourself a coronary!!
    However,I know exactly how you feel .
    These Government backed money generating schemes aimed at sponging even more money from honest hardworking easy targets like us are enough to make the blood boil,but you just can`t let it!!
    I am fortunate as I am self employed and earn cash..
    I have found that the best way for me to avoid blowing a fuse is to deduct any amount that I feel is unfair from my tax return..
    I have always done this simply by only declaring what I feel is due..
    It may not be right or fair but let me tell you this..I sleep very well at night!!
    Unfortunately my wife does not as apparently I snore like a pig!!
    Yeah,right!!

    Thanks Fred for the advices, I think youre right, I do need to chill out a bit, its just that sometimes I see red, do you know what I mean, yeah youre probably right me old mucker, maybe I should not care too much, I do the same on my tax return, deduct amounts for things I have to spend money on, its not really about that, its how I see the values we all shared in the 80's just slipping away, cant fly the Union Jack at your house, as its ....offensive, to a.n. others...you know the drill, its this politically correct bridgade I find hard to come to terms with, but as you have said, I should chill out eh ?

    Best way to chill out : Truckers breakfast at the blinking owl cafe !! and a paper, nice piping hot cup of trea and 2 slices, what do you think Fred ?

    [QUOTE=ginapeterb;14530]Eda,

    "now it costs £15.00 to change a light bulb, is financially bankrupt"

    Hey there - can I have you NHS Charity electricians number please ??

    Working in another well known public organisation, I recently saw a bill for 'Rectification of exterior light fitting' Joker turns up (sorry , County Council approved list spark !) takes screw out of light cover, unscrews bulb, shakes bulb, walks into building, says 'nearly done mate, err, got any bulbs ? '
    Screws our bulb in, screw back in cover - Nice job .....

    Oh - the bill ?

    £96
    Welcome to the real world !!!!!!

    Great forum everyone - keep it up.
