.. OK, if the JM clan think Doctor Who is Poo then, what on the BeeB do you think is f###ing good ! Question

Its sad to say that the whole "Smarticus" family (including the 2 Labradors Thumbs Up ) think Doctor Who is just the best, and getting better and better.

United Kingdom 

I am still a Brit at heart but I just think that the cost of living there is extortionate. UNDENIABLE FACT

The weather well and truly sucks - UNDENIABLE FACT

Immigration is a problem spiralling out of control - UNDENIABLE FACT

HOWEVER......

I do not hate the place as I am proud to be British and would buy a place there as that is where friends and family live, as well as our roots.

As far as the comments on ex-pats, sadly in general I have to agree! Sad

Hey, this beats reading the kids a bedtime story, so here's my response :

Its been 21 degrees C all day today. Almost unbearably hot for Gawd's sake. I've actully burnt my ear lugs ! Spent the day at Cragside in Northumberland. The Rhoddendrums were just spectacular, swimming in the hill top lakes with the dogs was brilliant and we returned home to BBQ and Booze a plenty. Lets hope its cooler tomorrow - hey rain would be good - very refreshing . But at least I'll be able to sleep well tonight as its cooling off nicely now. I'm just not at all good in this hot weather nonesense ! Thumbs Up

Cost of living wise - well it was free to get into Cragside today (yep you guessed - we are NT members), and Waitrose was stuffed full of top quality BBQ steaks and Stilton Beefburgers, for just £2.99 a pack - Yummy). We've never had it so good Thumbs Up

Immigration - you've got to love it. I met some brilliant Polish guys and Girls at a night out in Newcastle last week, and the Latvian dancers at Spearmint Rhino on Monday were Mr. Green Many of the companies I work with rely on a workforce made up of immigrants, who will very happily work long and hard on some "challenging" jobs. Wht on earth the UK economy would do without them right now Question And lets face it, how many of us can truly say we don't come from immigrant stock within the last 2,000 years. I'm probably a bit Roman, Scandinavian, North German and maybe even Ghengis Khan had a "small part" to play in my genetic code (Times 2 weeks ago said something like 1 in 20 of the population of the world is related to good ol Ghengis - bit of a Ladd apparently Razz

So, my point is, there is many ways at looking at every issue, and with jsut a bit of effort we can normally find a positive, welcome and optimistic angle. Could catch on you know .... Thumbs Up Oh yes and UNDENIABLE facts probably don't actually exist in real life. Its way too complex, rich and diverse a world for anything to be so simple. Hey, Hitler believed he knew all sorts of things were UNDENIABLE facts - but look how wrong he turned out to be Wink

PS : Jay - I knew you would be a closet fan of the big Doc - but I bet you were hiding behind the sofa when those scarecrows went on the rampage. Our whole family have made a really cosy "nest" behind the sofa, that we reserve for Saturday nights between 7 and 8pm.

Now where is that bottle opener ...... Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

Mate i Kidd you not i don't not watch it at that time of night I'm still in the shop doing the last house of the day clocking up the 13th hour Very Happy

Sound's like you had a grate day out today mate bet you get to do stuff like that all the time ??

Us as a family we have never been on a family holiday or day out the only time we do ever all go out is after we lock the shop up and that is not very often!

But anyway that's not what we're talking about here!

Well I have read the thread and agree with all of you but, reading between the lines ST is quite happy to bounce between both countries and good luck to him and his lady and future children. He is fortunate that he can do this with the way his life is structured, good on you. But, do not forget that we are passionate and it is our choice not to leave Gods country. We have all the seasons and the landscape changes each day with the weather. Lovely Thumbs Up I personally pinch myself when, my rush hour is stuck behind the milk tanker or a tractor carting and also, the views through the 6 miles of country lanes to the yard are picture post card.

We as a country have our problems and hopefully, a big hopefully it will sort itself out, (Doctor Who) only kidding, I wholeheartedly agree with Kaine, We are just over the border from him and by golly both sides are unbelievably Stunning as it is on the whole.

Not meant to offend anybody. no regrets!
ONE LIFE LIVE IT.

Jay - look man that just ain't right ! You guys must make a decent income (just look at the metal you drive) but where is the "life" if you have to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week ? I think we should start a campaign to "send Jay and his family on holiday" (I hear Cyprus is nice Razz ). Perhaps we could all volunteer to take turns looking after your shop for a week or 2 ? RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini
