Goverment puts the prices up every 12 months, usually 1000% over the inflation rate. Maybe this country is turning into the Philippines!!

Rome collapsed when taxation reached 10%! The UK is around 40% :o Singapore works out around 12%.....which begs the question.....why the hell do we still live here??
I'm in the USA at the moment. Petrol is $2.30 a gallon, which is about 40 pence a LITRE. Wranglers jeans are $15 a pair: £8. A Ford F150 V8 truck is just over $11,000. In the UK you can barely buy a midget comedy Smart car for that

Why the hell do we have to get shafted so much in the UK? So they can pay a billion dollars a day to the EU to support Spain and Polands economy?? So we can fight somebody elses war in Iraq?? :huh:

The first and second world wars bankrupted the UK, so you think we'd learned a lesson or two? Naaaah! :unsure:

Blair brags we are one of the richest countries in the EU. So why do we have the crappiest pension scheme, the most expensive petrol and a failing NHS? :o

And lets not even discuss the bloody weather

When my wife finishes her nursing we are getting out, to Oz, Canada or the USA, but anywhere other than England.
