I found it very interesting because the writer who was born in Ireland and after being back in Ireland for two years feels he made a huge mistake in going back there.

But now this latest problem of all the so called refugees coming into Europe from Syria and a host of countries in boats crammed full of 400 to 600 each boat, risking there lives on the high seas, thousands have drowned so far, and already 107,000 people have made it to Europe, and the number is growing every day,
I understand that most of them I think are just so desperate that there escaping ISA and the talaban, they just want to live!!!! but lots are just leaving other countries cause they are tired of living in poverty ----- much the same as the Mexicans really!!!!

Rod, my daughter went to the International Market on Tropicana Blvd and she must have spent $100 on British 'treats' for me. Her husband is a judge in Las Vegas.
The Cadburys is strange because it doesn't say which country it was made in.
I'm really enjoying eating them.

I wanted to ask you if you get a daily newspaper and if so which one?

Cheers

Well as for the newspaper we have the local Portsmouth News delivered daily, and Saturday and Sunday we are proud to say that we buy the Mail
Mum's been reading the Mail for years, and it's hard to break someone close to 100 years old of there long time habits and I would not even think of doing that!!!
