It's amazing how we sell off our Historic Companies to foreign companies.

Just because Europe told to have an open trade system, we obeyed and started selling,
the French and Germans didl not let go of their utilities and other assets

Is there anything out there that we still own ?

All the red telephone boxes in Sheffield got removed (70's) and replaced by Perspex or something as horrible.

I saved an old wall Post Box and use it at home.

All for their crusade to get rid of the English nationalism that they were so terrified of, now if you say you're English and not British you virtually get accused of racism.
They even sent our orphans to Australia, stating they'd have a better life but not really caring what happened to them...
and look what did!!
I'm glad they seem to be finally getting some compensation financially, however nothing can give the survivors back their scarred childhoods!
Shame on the politicians of this country and their pathetic insincere apologies and hand wringing, none of them should ever hold office again and their parties should be disbanded!

Get off the fence & tell us what you really think..!

Are you. Taking the blood pressure pills?

You are a Grumpy Old Man with serious issues you need to attend a Chill Course

I will soon be at our Cottage in France where we have a Park bench and sort out the World,
do you want to reserve a seat, we eat meat, drink Malt, have butter on toast and love the
life we live in Rural Northumberland. I worked in Sheffield for 30 years so have seen the
other darker side of life.

Now where is that Single Malt hiding ?

Reserve me a single malt, wonderful stuff!!
I also have two sugars in my tea and am proud to be 'politically incorrect' whenever I feel blunt honesty will do nicely! No politician me!! (Won't catch them being honest! )
But less of the old..... I am only 49. Big Five 'O' in January!

A cottage in France? That's typical. take our British money and give it to some foreigners. France is full of them! They speak a strange language, drink wine, eat snails, drive on the wrong side of the road, and smell of onions and garlic. Just make sure you don't begin anything nasty back into Blighty when you return. Why not come down t'pub and sit on a bench to drink beer and eat ready salted crisps? Who on earth wants to chill when one can br grumpy and un-PC

I hope I do not cock a doodle diddley things up by trying to add a picture.

Francophile I am afraid to say and the only stowaways in my van on it's return will be copious bottles and boxes of wine
together with large tins of duck, which is delicious.

The van will be locked and sealed with the dog on Kill Mode, if all else fails Start Beating The Drum

RAMMING SPEED.[frame][/frame]

Nice place Hope it's a good way from the terminal or you might have some unwelcome guests who've decided to stay in France after all
