Re: Austerity measures

I seem to be getting more right wing the older I get. Not that I'd admit to that as yet. I have to see if I become fully fledged or not. But yes, let's penalize families on the dole who churn out...

Re: Great things about UK and under threat: National Health Helpline.

I do worry a lot. I'd like to develop a less worrisome attitude but am short of ideas.

Re: Great things about UK and under threat: National Health Helpline.

Re: Worried about the "chav culture" in the UK?

I have to admit not knowing what a chav is. I don't even know what the letters stand for, although I think it may have been explained to me in the past. Maybe I am in denial. My personal...

Great things about UK and under threat: National Health Helpline.

Had a great experience with a National Health Helpline on a recent fact-finding tour to the UK. Sad to hear that the new government are planning to axe the service.

Re: Street Harassment? And not getting many of those to the pound.

Took a mini 'fact finding' break to the UK, this week and found no evidence of street harassment whether I was dressed like Barbara Woodhouse or something more Barbarella. Nice attention yes...

Re: Street Harassment? And not getting many of those to the pound.

A young teenager boy with long hair, walking down a street in the UK, gets whistled at from a car. I don't understand what is behind it, but it's bullying and harassment. Girls get more hassle...

Re: Street Harassment? And not getting many of those to the pound.
