I wasn't talking about my mum here, totally different case.

I am sorry about your mum though.

Do you like rubbing people up the wrong way

While I think the poster may have started out on the wrong foot esp here when most people are trying to get back to the UK or have done so and are very happy to be home. but they are homesick just like most of us here.

But I wonder if I posted that I thought Australia was the biggest S###e hole what the response would be ! most Ild say would agree on some level esp if they were feeling paticulary homesick and fed up and down because they are some were they don't want to be, Homesickness is a horrible horrible feeling. when your not happy and stuck some were for what ever reason, we would all be guilty of ranting and expressing our dislike for were ever we are.

If posted that in the moving to Australia forum there would be war

my point is I think the poster is very homesick for Portugal and all they can see is the bad because its not were they want to be or were they are truly happy

oh and I don't think Australia is a S###e hole, I just think I love my home country more and I'm very very happy to be home

It's a pregnancy and birth board, so people were asking what support others had had during pregnancy and yes after birth. Board is arranged by birth month so after baby is born people then asking who had had what follow up appts if at all. They weren't posting just to complain but were comparing notes.

Babies sleep a lot.

Well said.

Can't you just take her to the doctor's? That's what happens in most other countries. If home visits to new mothers and babies are still the norm in the UK, it's ahead of many places. Be glad!

What are you on about?

BTW, I wasn't criticising the NHS. I think it does a fantastic job and the UK is still a good place to be if you need medical help on the cheap.

many good comments on here, this is by far the most accurate though.

God forbid someone who posts with a little genuine naivety, not treading on eggshells for fear of offending the intellectual giants and wordly wise, whose opinion obviously is always correct and not to be countered.

its on this forum to offer a bit of balance, another viewpoint, anothers experience, nothing more from what i can see and not deserving of the replies it got, which i find personally farcical given how some who have commented on here are crying about their treatment elsewhere.

it looks to me like OP is the chief exponent of that attitude on this thread

well, i've looked hard, but just looks to me like a very sad, and, personally to the o/p, distressing set of incidents that have affected her life, values and opinions. yes she goes off on one at the end, but hey, who is not guilty of that on here, i know i am. glasshouses i'm afraid.

You had your bottom smacked yesterday. I'm beginning to think maybe you like it.

no, i think its your elitist attitude again thinking that somehow you have one up on me for whatever reason. this is not the playground, if i am admonished for anything i will accept it, from the person it comes from. certainly not from the likes of you, who have shown your colours clearly on this thread.

If by 'true colours' you mean having the temerity to call you on your illogical and frankly foolish rantings over what were in my, and most other's opinions simply some nice pictures, then yes, I guess you have me pegged.

It takes a special kind of cynical take on the world to look at a few nice pictures of selected scenes from England and have one's mind automatically default to seeing a pile of crap, bravo sir, good for you.

I would suggest you focus your energies and concern into helping the poor and vunerable, if indeed they are genuine, instead of wasting your time looking at photos that obviously fill you with such disdain.

Capitals and grammar are free by the way, even for the hoi polloi.
