Every where I go to think England is rich and the streets are paved with gold. Well think again

We are no better off than any other country. We have our problems, homeless, gang murders, shitty weather, over population (the government bring people in they cant afford to keep) , terroism, paedophiles, rapists and our usual petty criminals.

Our prisons are too full so they have to let some of the criminals back out only to reoffend..
They let dangerous mental patients back in soceity and call this care in the community until the patient murders someone

The cost of living is bloody too high and is rising we are the most expensive country to live in and have the highest debts in the world and our encouraged to take out more credit.
(And if you are bipolar God help you)you will spend what you aint got.

We do have our good sides National Health Service.

You need to realise 1 thing, people can't take advantage of you if you don't let them.

oh wow - if you havnt seen Scotland you havnt lived. People dont seem to want to go because of the weather but it shifts all the time, from sunny, to windy, rainy and back again making the scenery outstanding and changing every minute - I live in England, in Oxford, and love the multi-cultural atmosphere - but Scotland is my second home. Would love to travel all over but England is my HOME (and Scotland)...;)) Cathrynn XX

I hate to admit this, my aunt lives in Morningside,Edinburgh. My favourite painting, The Christ of St John on the Cross, hangs in Glasgow. I once had a Scottish taxi driver refuse to take a fare because he said I was too nice to take money off. The Burrell collection blows my mind. What a shame there is no monster in that Loch tho' LOL

Yes, its great having the NHS but its being abused. People die every day waiting on huge waiting lists for life saving operations and its all because as you say, this country is over populated. The rest of the world know wabout our NHS system and come here to use it because they know that our government is a walkover when it comes to immigrants. People lie on hospital trolleys in corridors for hours in agony because there is no on available to deal with them. Our doctors and nurses are over worked, underpaid and should they make a mistake throughsheer tiredness, they are hauled over the coals.
This country rewards the rich and penalises the poor...i'd get out if I could

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
