Obviously they're not all like that, but enough are to justify the reputation as whinging poms. Funny now I'm back, I see the brits who whinge about the UK in a whole different light (They'd complain no matter where they lived IMO).Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Originally posted by Gordon Brown View PostI would urge you to consider that Britain is probably the best place to be, as long as you are a non-dom.
Crime is low, Britain is a tax haven for non-doms and the climate (thanks to the 4x4) is improving every year. Inflation is low and so the cost of living is very competitive.
Our policies have fostered a Britain that is safe, cheap and accessible to all.
Get over here Gordon!Comment
