they;re a nightmare. I never manage to get the giant USA type car close enough to the cash point and end up having to get out to do it anyway, then try to drive off and nearly hit the stupid pillars that they place in front of me when I'm not looking
drive through off licences though, they're something I like (Australia, not US AFIAK)

Seconded, as long as my family is ok and the moggy has everything she needs then I find it hard to care because life is a struggle for most working adults as it is.
Oh come on this country's not bad at all. Even those who don't work get SOME money and most have a roof over their heads. Try living in North Korea or a poor African country with little clean water if you think it's bad here.
Having viewed the list of the OP's other threads I am rather concerned that she will use all the exclamation marks up and leave none for the rest of us¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
See¡¡¡ All the right way up ones have gone¡¡¡¡ OMG¡

Bloody Britain is shit, or teeth are shit, life is shit (but only in Britain the rest of the world is really nice and everyone has flowers and lots of money and clean streets and no suffering happens anywhere else about from Britain)
At least we can "gloat" about Thatcher dying though ay? Britain loves having the attention of the world. We should never put on really great and successful events like the Olympics either because THAT'S SHOWING OFF!!!!! We should all just sit and be embarrassed at how shit our country is.
I'm kidding of course. Is Britain perfect? NO. But no one is making you stay here you know. Go and find a country that you love and live there.
That headline is misleading, suggesting that you lose your home as soon as you miss one payment. It doesn't happen like that. There are also many avenues to be explored before it happens (claiming HB for example).
It fact it sounds more like fund-raising propaganda for the charity, and invites you to make a donation towards the end of the article. (Which, then pays someone's mortgage while they're unemployed? I don't think so.)
Living pretty much to the limit of your income (by either being too poor, or spending too much) is not unique to the UK either.
The thing is, its extremely hard to "save for a rainy day" here in this country!! The crippling taxes of which we are being duped here into paying DOUBLE !! The Community Charge alone cripples a lot of families(Thanks Maggie for leaving us this Godawful legacy!!), the extortionate utility bills we have to pay, the ever-rising fuel costs and petrol prices!! Even if I had a full time job I still wouldnt be able to afford to buy and run a car what with the high insurance premiums, high car tax, MOT and servicing, not to mention repairs!! Then theres ever-rising food costs!!
Then what do you do, when you are constantly being laid off from work and you end up living off of any savings that you do accrue??? Basically, in this country, theres no such thing as starting a job and staying in it until retirement any longer!! Here, its a very unstable job market, so employers now hire and fire at will more than they ever did years ago!! Its even more hard now in this economic climate!! In fact, I reckon that adults now spend more time on JSA than they do in work and thats no fault of their own!!

Community Charge? Sounds a bit like something from Monopoly
God Bless America and their fiscal policies which have entirely eradicated poverty.
Let's all move to LA.
That's the way to do it.
God no. One of the worst places I've ever been to. Filthy, sleazy, tacky, dangerous. It's a horrible place. I'd take anywhere in the UK over that shit-heap.

Ah, I think I get you now.
I've seen them in Texas.
This is happening worldwide! What is your explanation for that?
ah there you go then. bloody good idea.
They used to allow open containers in cars too.
Seconded, as long as my family is ok and the moggy has everything she needs then I find it hard to care because life is a struggle for most working adults as it is.
But it's not AMERICA!!!!!!! :eek:
Therefore, it sucks.
PS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Which country do you actually like?.
Where would you prefer to live, given you hate the UK so much?.

Big fan of the double exclamation mark I see.
