I have been here in the UK for nearly a week and its not a very pleasant place to be. When I get back I'm gonna write about my observations fully on here I think!?!

Hi Jo
I agree that the UK media has a nasty habit of exagerating! and looking at the bad - its rarely a balanced view! (look at the article yesterday about the heatwave for goodness sake!).....and sometimes this can lead to a self fulfilling prophecy !
I would be interested to read your first hand view of the UK as you saw it this past week ...... if you have the time I think many of us here would be interested!
Take care - Sue x
