Are We Desperate to be Miserable?

I blame the media.

Wasn’t long ago they were banging on about no food on the shelves and stock not being available, people got very worried and then it lasted about a whole week.

Not saying this energy crisis won’t be bad this winter, I think it will, I just think the media over plays stuff.

When I was a lad we didn’t have central heating, it was fucking horrible in the morning in December and January but that was just life.

Generally life is good in this country, there’s not a mass exodus of moaning cunts moving elsewhere is there?
Not usually a media basher but Im in agreement with this. I read through the BBC news online when Im having a bite to eat and each day for weeks it has been relentless about inflation, energy bills, interest rates etc. We all know, we are living it. Im taking in less and less news now, it definitely brings people down
 
Dinas Dinlle. Just on the Llyn Pennisula. The village is called Llandwrog.
I know that area quite well mate (and Gwynedd, my favourite county in the UK) as generations of an ex were raised there and Tbf you’re comparing things with an area that for those generations has had to make the best of very little, most people stop at Abergele (the odd ones will be daring and go to Anglesey), for want of a better phrase, they’re seasoned Pro’s at this kind of thing.

I agree about the media, it is amazing how we managed to recruit all those hgv drivers. Just one of the many scare stories they have peddled recently
 
Don't think we're all desperate to be miserable but BM and this board in particular are an outlet to vent for people.

Fair play to the people round the OPs area setting things up for themselves, I love to see it!
 
Probably because they aren't able to anymore since Brex... Never mind.
The top 3 countries Brits migrate to aren’t in the EU.

4 of the top 5 we can migrate to with the same rules as before brexit.

Cool, I'm sure that's a relief to the tens of thousands whose hearts were set on retirement in the EU.

Not that I'm getting into it, it's done to death and my original post was kind of flippant and not meant to be too serious. Sure there might even be a thread knocking about that discusses it somewhere. :-)
