 Ouch ;D


"I will continue to comment on whatever I want about the UK"  as indeed you have a perfect right to nichola.


It's people who can only slag off the UK without any reference to the good things about it that upset me.

But take the cold weather allowance, nip back for operations and get their prescriptions sent over  ;)

If I ever move back to the UK H it will be to Scotland that I return... but will it still be part of the UK I wonder? Referendum in 2014 I believe   :)

Dont get cold weather payment. Have Turkısh Medical ins so get my ops/treatment cheap and my medıcatıon ıs maınly free. Chose to live here and because of savıngs ,pensıons ect am able to do so.  UK is still lovely but i needed sun and warmth and I know I am lucky to have the choice to be able live here. All I hear from holıdays makers are moans about UK be ıt weather, government,health, educatıon ,wages, imigration,ect ect. Nice to hear there are some that stıll love living in the UK.

As a citizen of the UK one of the great things we enjoy is the RIGHT to compliment, criticise, comment, publish, laugh at, joke about, verbally snipe at whatever we damn well like, at just about whoever we damn well like including, but not restricted to, politicians, leaders, royal family, 'im or 'er down the road, shopkeepers, family members, television presenters, Clarkson, civil servants, bankers, utility companies, over officious and pompous people serving us, airlines (in particular Ryan Air - but I'll keep booking), Richard Branson, train companies, contemporary pop stars in particular boy bands, hypocritical aged pop stars like Bryan May who haven't produced anything new for years but seem to pop up every time there is something to celebrate, footballers (overpaid variety), aged hypocritical pop stars with something to say about things they feel strongly e.g May again with his Mr Badger Campaign, Prince Charles now don't get me started on him cos we will be here all night :o .... now I'm sure I've missed quite a few, but the important thing is we enjoy the right to say, within the bounds of reason and decency, whatever we like about any of them.

Yes it might make us a nation of moany old men and women, but if we didn't have that, what else would we have to moan about!! ;D ;D
