A number of postings suggested I was not qualified re England of today......seems as though others appear to be qualified re USA of today....wonder why the difference.... No difference whatsoever. Other than that most posters on this group are unable to recognise or take issue with misconceptions about the USA, so it's perhaps easier to get away with them here. when I first came to the USA there was a tremendous difference in the living standards re USA v England....that is when the USA was living of the fat of the land overcharging the world for its goods as other nations were still catching up from the ravages of war whereas the USA had been able to build up a tremendous industrial capacity the likes of which was pure amazement.....in my recent visit I could not tell any difference in quality of living...England has done one hell of a job in catching up and in some areas surpassing and would have done even better had it not been for the 'brain drain'.....back then I hardly ever saw an English person on these shores except for immigrants and now they are like flies around horsemanure.....we surely can use your money after the Bush spending spree in Iraq and other places. |

Thank you, Mr Christian! I'd love to go to the Galapagos. YES !! wonderful idea :-) It seems from my reading that they are so concerned about the damage caused by tourists that there is now an 'ecology charge' to visit which made the cost £1500 for a 3 day visit :-( -- Sue Remove the puppies to reply |

Also cleans off rust stains from enamel saucepans if you boil the leaves.
