Hello from England

[Flash]

That's tough.

Since, I am driving less but growing older, I'll trade you our gas prices for your health care system.

And as long as I'm bargaining on behalf of my nation, I'll trade you our Congress for your Parliment, too.

You guys can keep the crown jewels, and we'll keep our national parks system.

Deal or no deal?

If you think the NHS is a good health care system then I feel sorry for you.

Once you get through all the initial hoops and other obstacles, it performs pretty well in managing medical conditions. It ensures people don’t suffer financial hardship when ill.

They just have less desposable income every year directly and indirectly paying the enormous taxes for it. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Of course it isn’t free.

The price of oil is killing me ~ petrol (or gas, if you like) is currently about £1.20 per litre, or about $11 per us gallon.

Blame your own system

Tariffs make up the greatest share of automotive gasoline prices in the United Kingdom. As of May 2020, tariffs accounted for over 50 percent of the average gasoline price at 1.22 euros per liter. The breakdown of gasoline prices was similar to the breakdown of diesel prices in the UK during the same period.

Their healthcare system is collapsing....they cant afford it, they cant keep doctors and nurses and the wait times for even bsic medical procedures are getting worse and worse

It is a great system if you never get old or sick

Hello all,

Hello from England (The Lake District to be exact).

Always interested to know what others around the world think of life.

I've travelled a lot in my time, including to The USA (+ most of the EU, middle and far East and Oz).

Can I ask a favour though please: can you guys please do something about the value of the $? The price of oil is killing me ~ petrol (or gas, if you like) is currently about £1.20 per litre, or about $11 per us gallon.

Anyhoo, hello!

Suck Democrat gargle.

That would be the zebra thing, it isn't right in the head, it seems to be obsessed with bumping old threads.. I'm not sure if it's a trolling sok but there's definitely something wrong with it..
