Well its nice to see it in writing ..

Must admit Britain does have a few things that nowhere else can compete with...

Hamleys at xmas,even when you're a grown-up...

You regard being multi-racial as a negative? Being taught about different cultures and religions as a negative? My thought is that one of the problems with the UK is people with the same attitude you have.

most hours worked per person per annum of any European country (and for next to nothing)

I too disagree with Big Petes big picture tbh, as for oddball says you could draw up a list like this about many countries. I could easily do this about Spain, but I could also draw up an equally positive list.

Its very easy to be negative about the place you live in.

To Hurricane, I cant stop people posting their views on here my friend ... people will draw their own conclusions about the OP's views

Tranquillo

We could all do that ,i have said before NO where is perfect. I love Cyprus but it has it pros&cons. Its up to you to work with adapt too and hope to get the most out of live we can. Tricia
