I am the British Government and if you drive a car, I'll tax the street; if you try to sit, I'll tax your seat; if you get too cold, I'll tax the heat, if you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

(taken from a famous Beatle song but it's so true)

I am the British government, I will cut you defence forces by 20,000 people at the time you need them the most.

We used to drive on the correct side, but since moving to Canada, we're forced to drive on the wrong side to avoid head on collisions! ;)

If you think Canada or anywhere else in the world hasn't got these problems plus a whole lot of problems unique to their country you are dreaming.

Get a life:o

This is a light-hearted fun poking event. Check out its partner event - the Canadian rant.:D

Besides, the majority of these looked pretty unique to the UK to me, certainly more so than in Canada anyway eh.

I'm british and I'll find something to whine about in even the most positive of situations:)

What question ... sorry I've been wasting time by being out enjoying life rather than being glued to the forum :o

I know that gaelic is a celtic language and there is scottish and irish gaelic. Are they interwined - if a person can understand one, they can understand the other?
