The National Health Service.

My lad hurt his knee playing footie early this week. In fact he heard something pop in his knee. Went to the hospital was seen within 2 hours, had a X-ray which was inconclusive. Given crutches by a physio, referred to a Specialist.

He left and that appointment dropped through his letter box two days later and is for early January.

My mate who spends a lot of time out in his pad in South Africa.

His missus fell and broke her wrist/arm which needed an operation to have it pinned
Although he has full comprehensive insurance he still had to pay for the X-Rays..........he's hoping he'll get that cost back from the insurance but he might not.

The UK has it's faults but I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Just curious if you ever look at your paycheque. You pay for everything...

For the people complaining about internet speeds, what exactly is it that you're missing out on (genuine question)? Our internet over here is miles slower (and miles more expensive) than yours but it's still perfectly fast enough to do everything we need it for.

The UK isn't that bad going by average download speed, better than most countries. Some are really punching above their weight though, ie Finland, Romania, Sweden etc which usually sets off the jealousy reaction, plus the higher end internet speeds are really poor or really expensive compared to other countries which is going to affect people like @TCIB and @aguerooooo

My selfish, land grabbing, lying, raggy next door but one neighbours.
The M6 (south of Preston), M1 , M60/62 and pop up roadworks.
Once a year drinkers, shrieking women and Billy big bollocks blokes clogging up the bars. (Why do some people have to be so loud? ). Overpriced beers.
The open drug taking and street begging.
Filthy streets.
Creeping Americanisation (eg. Halloween , baby showers and other crap!)
Probable corruption in football.
The rags.
Too many announcements on trains, stations and even bus stations! (big brother is watching us you know! )
People who put their feet up on bus/train seats, and others who take up too much table space on trains with their laptops.
People who listen to music through their headphones but you can still hear the irritating tinny noises coming out.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Not something I hate but that's something I'd prefer wasn't, the 'Great' in our name. I know we're a fine island but it sounds pretty egotistical nowadays. Think it comes from the classical context of calling us Great Britain and Ireland, Little Britain.
