Good post this Steve and you're right whats happened to the good neighbours.

I am only 43 Steve but still remember the days where you knew each and every neighbour but now most don't even know the names from next door and the times where everybody used to go to each others homes especially New Years eve.

God it makes me feel old even in the prime of my life but also saddened at society today, even though were we live in a quiet area with people still here in our cul-de-sac living over 50 years in same property from my parents and grandparents days.

I just wish things could stay that way but like me Steve as soon as Jamie is nationalised I think we will be making a move as well my idea Spain (hopefully things will pick up there in he future) then off to the Phils for retirement.

Once again mate good luck to your wife Ems in her application...
