Just returned from two weeks in the Oxford area. How the hell does anyone afford to live in the UK anymore. Gas at .95 per litre, a pint costs 2.20 and the prices at the grocery stores are crazy. :scared: Forget eating out, a pub lunch runs at least 10-12 per person. I'm not even going to mention the cost of houses... Dear old mum says "At least we have free medical." She doesn't realise that she's paying for it everytime she buys something. God bless the US

Gosh thats so expensive. I dont know why everyone stuck in good old blighty doesnt just jump off Beachy Head and have done with it.

Petrol, expensive.
Eating out, expensive.
Houses, f**king ridiculous.
Beer, ok.

Living in a country where I don't have to come onto an internet chatroom to find more than 3 people with a sense of humour - PRICELESS

That's exactly what my husband said when we were there at Christmas. Although medical costs in the US are a worry. You are OK if you have med/prescription insurance, good health and lots of money, although if you have a long term illness the latter is soon eaten away. On the other hand my mother who cannot walk due to arthritis in her knees was waiting years before the NHS would perform surgery. On the day of her surgery she was told that at 80 she had become too frail for such a major op. :scared:

Well said, I'm so tired of 'behaving myself'

You are just tooooo funny. How's the eye bye the way?

LOL, now that was funny

this would probably lower houses prices in the long run

A few bottles of san miguel and some tapas on friday night seemed to do the trick
Thanks for asking

And solve the NHS crisis, unemployment, schools, housing and benefits all in one fell swoop. Infact i think I shall offer myself up for the next election with my new social reforms policy....anyone that cant work/wont work/is a scrounging chav bastard shall be summarily thrown off Beachy Head.

Hoooray!!!!!!! I'll vote for you.....


Get a move on then so I can afford to move back

I havent been back to Oxford for a couple of years but is beer if down to 2.20 a pint then the landlords owe me a rebate on my student loans!

Got to wait till our Tone steps down...

I think about 80% (ie the working, non-chav part) of the population will vote for me.

Now come on. Stop being modest. At least 99.9% would vote for you.
