Be careful! Someone sitting next to you might not really be "middle class"! :eek: |

Re: One thing
Have to agree on the better health care thing.
When you get treatment, it is usually pretty good but very expensive. I underlined that last part because, on the odd occasion (like this week) that I call to see the doctor, they always say "Well, he has an opening May 20th" - I KID YOU NOT! So, am I supposed to stay sick until then? |

Fly home somehow I guess! (Oh, touch wood that doesn't happen!) |

Just waited 3 months for a specialist appointment, went on Wednesday... bitterly disappointed, had better care and information from practice nurses in the UK. |

For me it would be; Healthcare, healthcare, healthcare and healthcare. There is so much to see and do, but I never have the damn time off work to do it at a leisurly pace!! On a more minor note the choccie and TV are crap. Willy Wonka needs to open a factory :D |
