here what you say Darren,
I am only back 18 months and my honey and I are already considering a return to the Phils sooner rather than as intended in about four or five years time. So many things here seem unfair and intended to prevent you from actually having a decent life whilst encouraging all sorts of behaviours that just undermine what British culture was known to be. I am often ashamed even in more well to do areas of the litter, graffiti, groups of zombie like teenagers seemingly with "nothing to do" and my wife has on more than occasion been shocked by the current British working class culture as exhibited by driving down the promenade at Blackpool recently on a saturday night before the Barrio Fiesta.
Having said that she has been stunned by the natural scenery of Western Scotland, Parts of Wales and Cumbria and in particular the coastline of North Cornwall. The UK would be better if just could return to appropriate values of respect, duty, social responsibility and and understanding our obligations to contribute to our society.
