What incisive, witty, an intellectually devastating replay sti.
That's twice you have tried to atagonise me in recent days, the first bringing me up into the "ive signed this petition" thread by name despite the fact I hadn't even responded in it at that point. - So, with that in mind - What's your problem? If you don't like what I write, just ****ing ignore it.

as above was think about this today with the country becoming more & more nanny state than ever with stupid laws with the goverment not even listerning to what we want anymore just how they can get more money from us been the most important! where police have to make crime targets so just take the easy options as the all worth the same! smokers being victomised making pubs more intersting outside, been bum rapped on fuel bills both car and house!
With all the above set to get worse who would leave the country if they had the money?
i know i would

Say's the man who writes a post complaining about how usless Polls are.
Here is a prime example of why polls are absolutely useless.
It's easy to say "yes I would leave the UK" and then come up with 101 reasons why you can't. If you really meant it, you would find a way.
Its an absolute bollocks result with no commitment needed to say "yeah I would go!"

I bit? So, you were trolling, then?
Ahh, that must be where I'm going wrong - So, despite it being a poll expressly asking for your views, you can only post in a thread if you agree with the Original poster?
Riiiight.

Not true anymore in NT, speed "limits" were introduced a few years back. Mind you, I'd rather be doing 110kph when a "beg red" hops in front of you while driving. You clip one of those any faster, goodbye to yours truely. Big red, just hops of with a sore hip!

Morning Pete, enjoying the first day back at work this week? 
You have to remember a lot of people on this thread will be fairly young and won't remember how bad it was here in the seventies and eighties, we've got it easy compared to then
I love the UK and wouldn't want to live anywhere else, moving 200 miles north to Yorkshire was enough of a culture shock so I don't think I'd fare well abroad

I voted yes but for alot different reasons to the doom mongers regarding this place going down the pan. 70 years ago people were fighting for this country, 70 years on theyre giving up and leaving.
Anyway, my reasons are purely because I want to see the world and experience other cultures, wouldnt want to say I wouldnt come back though. Nothing wrong with where I live

France for me, i like the people, food, the country itself has more to offer me than here (sports wise) and just a better lifestyle from what i have experienced over 24 odd years of visiting. Sure the grass isnt always greener, but the mountains are higher and the snow is better.

May I suggest that a good old fashioned, elegant and somewhat patriotic English "Stag" is equally able to ruin ones day while driving.... so I fail to see the need to travel halfway around the world to in effect 'make this somewhat disjointed' analogy....

Have you seen the "bull bars" on "rural transports" here? Similar to the UK? No. UK have none. There is a reason for that. Size does matter, as well as volume!
