another interesting item. i hear nothing but rave reviews from anyone in no america who has spent considerable time in London

Are these US guys paying UK taxes Paul. Have they bought a house and all the overheads that go with them.
No disrespect,but I am guessing the guys who lived in London had money,very good money,and for them,the changes have not affected them in the way it hasMr Average .
Even the rich guys here are not too badly affected by the high direct and indirect taxation. You know when the affluent guys here are not doing so well,they sell the Merc and downgrade to a Beemer
You really needed to be here when the times were good (circa late 1960s) and grow with the changes that have taken place to appreciate how things have gone downhill.

Graham summed up what its like in the UK now perfectly and we don't like it.
Voting another party in at the next election can't change what has been done already.
We were shafted a long time ago
