You can do exactly as you like just as I can - what I am trying to say is that not everyone wants to hear about it day in day out in response to every question they ask about Dubai. Thats all !!!!!!!!!

The optimists say nice things, the pessimists say bad things.

It balances out. And I do say nice things about Dubai occassionally

PS - my response was to the rather provocative post in which you asked why I care so much about people who are less fortunate than me.

I have driven through Abroath on many occassions (my grandmother lived in Montrose)

I never quite understood the attraction of a smokie though!
