As far as I know, everyone in the UK is entitled to at least 4 weeks holiday a year - that's the law.

No such law here...

Yes I fully understand that the law demands 28 days holiday per annum, as a child through secondary I never had a holiday going over a bank holiday weekend and I have chosen to work my holiday in the last 3 years of paid work I have been taking...

Why would you assume I want a gun?!

I am a keen herper and Arachnid collector and there are some heavy restrictions on what you can and cannot keep here, that is what springs to my mind among other things. I really feel like some here are just taking the piss unnecessarily.

I wasn't meaning you personally, just the right to own a gun seem's to stick out far more so than any other Laws.

Cottonmouth + Gun = Dead cotton mouth live gun owner.

Cottonmouth - Gun = Live cotton mouth dead non gun owner.

To the OP:

I am really curious as to what you think would improve your life by moving to the US?

They're taking the piss because they're Brits.

But they're also telling you what you don't want to hear which is that basically you don't have chance in hell of coming to the US given the facts so far. And these are all people that are living in America and have overcome the immigration hurdles.
