Thoughts on the UK

Having spent the last 3 weeks back in the UK after a 10 month absence, and having now returned home my thoughts about the UK are:

Cold
Dull
Grey
Wet
Ridiculous house prices
Expensive booze
Expensive fags (Mrs ST!)
Expensive council tax
Expensive Gas bills
Expensive electricity bills
Expensive water bills
Social system has gone mad
Too many dole dossers
Speed cameras a-go-go
Manic motorways
Traffic jams galore
Pub bouncers are tw ts
Too many bar staff do not understand concept of 'Baby Guinness'

Now why was it we moved abroad again

Oh yeah, but we might be buying a house as a part time base in the UK Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Unless you campaign against it you are unlikely to see things get any better. If this really annoys you you need to write to your MP and ask questions. Keep being a pain and with enough complaints things might change. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Slightly off topic but it amazes me how many people give their personal information away far too easily. People sign up for loyalty cars willy nilly and this information is used to trap you! I always use false details when signing up for free offers, loyalty cards etc and try and pay by cash as often as possible. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I don't even bother to to that VA. If "invites" to join any of these things appear in the mail I shove them back into the reply paid envelope (even better if there is one that requires a stamp as I post it back without one) with a scribbled note pointing out that I didn't ask for the crappy mail they sent in the first place so they can pay for the priviledge to have it back, and request them to remove my name and address from their database and to arrange for environmental disposal of the paper or to re-use it- it works every time, the amount of crap mail that I get has fallen off hugely in the last 3 months. The only company that seems totally incapable of removing my name from their database is MBNA Bank, there's hardly a week goes by when they don't get an unstamped envelope back from me. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
