It still has it's draws Eliko. People feel welcomed, and believe there is still a level playing field.
Unfortunately the vast majority who visit the UK see no further than London, and the overpopulated South.

On returning from a lengthy absence in Australia, I returned via the U.K. and landed in daylight.

I was struck by the orderliness of the fields and the beauty of the countryside which we flew over.

I have been to the Yorkshire Dales, The Scottish Highlands, The Welsh Valleys and many other picturesque places in the U.K. and The Republic of Ireland (beautiful Ring of Kerry etc).

The tranquility that one experiences in those places, belies the seething contempt that exists in the inner cities of many Northern AND Southern areas.

YOU are fortunate in that you reside in a nicer part of the country, you do not have to associate too much with the less fortunate, THEY are the ones that attract my sympathy.

Why take risks, add the "progesterone" to the water ... (Mind you those dioxins should be helping with this .. )

BTW Magnus talking of "drinks" ... what is your favourite tipple (or pint thereof ....)

The only way to get it into their drinks would be to put it in alcopops and supermarket cider/lager

I'm strictly a 'cuppa char' man. It's a well-known fact that I make the best tea in the world

Perhaps I had better make myself clear, as my apocryphal style does not seem to be going down with ease ..

I was less interested in the actual "drinks" and more probing as to your origins. I was hinting at a possible connection with one "stout" we once enjoyed the company of on this forum ....

...there is one God, according to the Christian/Judeo/Islamic faith.

what's the problem?

...as for wankers, they are everywhere. You don't have to be poor, or visible as a 'minority', to be a wanker.
what with the endless subsidies given to large corporations, why not call them welfare bums as well.

Nah, that wasn't me. I only came here to read the water meter but I got tricked into staying

Actually I've only been reading the forum for a few weeks. Just found some interesting thread through a Google search and got sucked in by all the fun and games.

You'll have to forgive me if I don't pick up on all the in-jokes and subtleties, sometimes I don't read between the lines

"subtleties" .... now there's a word I've not come across before ...

I'll probe no further, you are your own "character", and most welcome you are too!

a few year ago we owned a big car garage in suffolk. the local social services people would come to us and pay for cars with goverment cheques for the refugees. how do you think that made us feel as uk tax payer? i know how the people in the uk feel, i left because of it. i was an ethnic minority at school. our friend sister got gang raped by a group of indians. my husband was shot and wounded by a gang of africans whilst at work he's lucky his not in a wheel chair. too many immigrants have come to the uk and taken the piss, thats the problem. it will happen in south cyprus to because of the e.u and there rules.

I don't mean to be rude but it sounds like you were living in the Wild West. No wonder you upped sticks.

[Eliko]

roseandchan, seems like you had a pretty grim time back in the UK, but you should have seen what happened in the North of this Island back in '74.

The involvement that the British had in THAT savagery (and the USA) leaves one a little reluctant to sympathize with what is happening in the UK now.

Britain is now reaping the reward of it's past misdemeanours, sorry for your personal troubles as you should be for mine, BUT, "Who lives by the sword will perish by the sword".

Not MY words.............. spoken by one far greater than I.

[roseandchan]

eliko i agree in 74 britian should have done more but i was at school then.
