Re: HELP!!!!!!!! advice wanted to help us move
god how many brits go to Florida for 2 weeks and think thats what Alll of the states is like, just irritating. They bring their pounds and think everything is then twice as expensive at home because 'look how much I can buy'. My MIL even complained about English weather to me in December I live in Wisconsin for bleedin sake..dont talk to me about weather.
Actually a funny aside about the NHS. My Dad's appointment for an MRI scan came though sooner on the NHS than the appointment his employers made for him with Bupa. So put that in your pipe Daily Mail persons
