British Expats - Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

People are influence by Hollywood. A 90 minute war film and its all wrapped up and we go home to our comfortable home and have a peaceful nights sleep.

I was thinking that they should have a parade in Washington and have all the ex servicemen who have been injured parade for the world to see. That would wake people up.

Has American ever won a war that they fought alone?

Tell me about the war of US Independence, was that colonists against colonists? I don't think they won it because the Brits held out in what is now Canada. Something to think about.

From what I have heard I like the speeches of Ron Paul. Not all Americans think the same way I grant you that.

I thought of us all on both sides of the Atlantic when I saw this video. Some interesting statistics on health care:

Its nice that our politicians Love Govt healthcare for themselves but dont want us to have it...

Oh yes, a couple of hours late, but all in one piece and nothing missing. He was exhausted and we've been trying to do all those bits and pieces, got him sighed up at the doctors today and realized the woman doing it was in school with me, same year LOL.
Next is a call to National insurance number line to get his found. That'll be tomorrow.
I applied for two NHS Jobs so keep your fingers crossed, and I'm meeting my old best friend from when we were 4 all the way through high school she might have work for me. We'll see.
I broke my Mums car all kinds of lights came on, went to the really nice local garage he fixed it £35 all done.
On top of that Dh fixed the plumbing, and the front door, and we cleaned the whole house put stuff in the attic and did the grocery shopping, I'm exhausted now and still have dinner to cook.
Not sure we have time for jobs. :lol:
