Well I did enjoy my pint last night or was it two or more, and the log fire was banked up just right. It is a pity that so many people knock England, yes their is so much wrong here, the powers that be are a total waste of time and there are far too many silly think tanks and pressure groups and all this human rights and PC rubbish. I don,t understand why the rest of europe is so nice yet here we are being lead around like fools told what to think and what to say. The police our a joke and always state that they our under pressure due to lack of manpower, yet only last sunday I was enjoying the sunny day in a small village here in devon and what did i see but a policeman busy writing parking tickets for those that had over parked in the parking zones, i had a few words with him, is that what people want, is that what we our paying our taxes for, the cars our not doing any harm, know ones moaning they can,t park, but here he was, I was told that he is out there each sunday doing the same thing, yet their is not a local policeman and they never come out if needed, So why is this country so bad, When I was in the forces we had to go out and buy our gear or swap our combats for shirts that we could wear, boots that fitted etc, I started out looking like a tommy from WW2, I was sure I had my dads old boots, and ended up looking like something out of yanks. Its always been that way, cut backs and on the cheap, yes all wrong but now people our dieing due to this, why well like the policeman, the poor services we get the higher taxes, that feeling of sinking we all share here is due to money, its what the powers that be think off money, I am lucky I own a house in france and have done for 7 years, I can afford to because the costs our low, I save money even due to the fact that my car and the hymer our french, lower
insurance and no road tax and a 2 year fixed mot, just that pays for the cost of the house taxes, I love france, not so much the people, but their country, the ease of the place, free parking, I can take my boat out and theres no jobs worth wanting £30 like here in devon, this leads to a free happy feeling of myself and the people around me. Yet I always return for that pint and that log fire and the sunday papers. Maybe its because I know that I can leave the UK that allows me to enjoy it more, I just know that I am always glad to be back, yet always glad to get out.
Anyway sorry for going on. tell me what other nice places our you all going to. G please don,t answer we don,t wish to no aboat wales,
terry
