They certainly don't make 'em like Carry On Camping any more ... for one thing, they couldn't

Having said that I don't mind some of the recent comedy stuff, apart from Little Britain ... everyone else seemed to like that and it didn't gel with me.

Me too. I have never denied mine or anyone's else's heritage. They've got a right to be where they've been as long as they are responsible for doing it well. And, no matter how hard you try to be someone else it just falls short of trying in another way right? You only have to look at who's not paying their taxes and find some sort of tax non-payment scheme that quite frankly upsets me when I'm angry. I don't have a problem with it unless I get annoyed and if that is the case I am glad I left the UK when it was down. My wife is not collecting her pension because she is not old enough but that's not fair because there are too many busy bodies who like to keep their noses too close to the fire. I'd also pay my taxes in France if I was French but I'm not, so I don’t think its fair some sanctimonious people say I should then give my money to the Catholic church. Straightforwardly, I wish I could see someone doing the same thing here. But sadly, not these days.

Oink can I say I am so pleased you see where I am coming from, I actually thought you where all against me, all I want is for us to get together and fight for the cases like your wife. I know I came across as a smart a** BUT i NEED you expats to stop saying how great everything is and start fighting for what is right. I don;t Know Oink if we can make a difference but I am willing to try are You??

Don't let them get to you. That Alan2005 is the worst of a rather contumacious and puerile bunch. I doubt if they've got one GCSE between them.
