There are personal reasons , most on the forum are aware of my predicament .

Quality of life in the UK has deteriorated rabidly , disintegrating in front of our eyes . We have become a nation of corrupt manipulators selfish in every sense of the word , most of our hospitals are comparable to third world health centres. Our "greedy" culture has been greatly strengthened by the revelations concerning our fraudsters , the MPs. Notice how they stick together.
There are parts of the UK that are indeed a great deal more attractive than London , I of course refer to London. Councils that are using illegal means to raise revenues , such illegal means as used by Traffic Wardens trained by their superiors to fleece the motorist. Loading bays clearly marked " LOADING /UNLOADING 2O MINUTES " try unloading on these bays and you will , just as I have found out that these bays are the bait used quite intentionally by the system to defraud the motorist.
Our banks stink , our government is corrupt , our youth are uncontrollable , the knife and gun culture part of our lives now.
What do I like about the UK ? Well its home its my country and it gives me the right to challenge the system without hindrance .

My Commercial rates amount to 10 thousand pounds pa . What do I get from these vast amount of money ? 3 -4 PARKING TICKETS PER WEEK .
Recently a cardboard box was left on the pavement. It had contained goods delivered to our business and was left on the pavement unintentionally.
The vultures did not waste any time . A fine of £50.00 within days !!!

Sorry to wade in at such a late stage, but…

I hate it when people post on here purely to say how bad the place is. If you hate it so much just leave… tell everybody in Windsor how awful it was…

Or are you hoping that we’ll all agree with you and flee to Windsor…?

I know a bit about Windsor actually. I know you can’t find a parking space, council tax is eye watering, and it is incredibly expensive to eat out.

There are no ‘practical’ shops (DIY, etc.) so you have to go to Slough to get basic requirements risking getting snapped by about thirty speed cameras on the way…

You can’t walk down the street on Thursday because it is covered in wheelie bins and recycling boxes containing neatly sorted rubbish.

Not to mention that Windsor lies directly under the flight path to Runway 09 Left at Heathrow and most of the time aircraft thunder overhead every minute or so from 6am.

Oh, and the weather is shite too…

I know where I’d rather be. :wink:
