Actually im on the looking at the bigger spectrum planet.
Im comparing living expenses here and the Philippines...that's what my good lady does.
Yes, expensive here but at least after we put expensive fuel in our cars...paid our expensive utilities etc we can still eat without going cap in hand to friends and relatives and save for holidays halfway around the world namely, the Philippines.
Over there its quite different...Graham we tell you that.
Dame Margaret Thatcher was a knighted for goodness sakes....on the whole people who fail dont get knighted.
She may of been disliked up north but down here in the South she was loved.....as I said before, if she was so unpopular as you claim how come she was prime minister for so many years.
Remember the three day week?....that was labour's fault.
