Too right mate as has already been pointed out we have a high population density here for a REASON, the reason being, here The Elements won't kill you (as Bill Bryson so delightfully put it "unless you go walking up Ben Nevis in February in your carpet-slippers"). In order: no earthquakes (and the soil's quite good too). We do not have droughts/forest fires. We only have the occasional gale. Ditto floods and they only finish off about 2 1/2 people a time not tens of thousands like they do in China: and we have miles and miles of Coast giving more protein and mineral goodies per unit area than dry land.MisterE wrote:The UK is the best place in the world to live, and when PO comes we will ride it easy. Wales will ride PO even easier, I hate all this anti UK crap what is wrong with this man. Yep they are all fleeing I know a good couple of thousand people and guess what not one has left this brilliant country, gods country the green green fecking green grass of home that anchors your heart firmly here. Of all the places I could have been born into the world what luck to be born in the greatest place - its as good if not better than heaven!
My prediction for 2008 is some Brit (probably an asylum-seaker living in Glasgow oh the irony!) will invent a way of making 55%-efficient Solar PV that costs 2p a square yard and can be sprayed onto buildings. Country Guardians will then try and get it banned because "It doesn't look nice". . .
The first the rest of us get to hear about it is when King Charles III (well you don't expect the Queen to go on forever do you?) has Buckingham Palace covered in it. Bernie Ingham commits suicide, closely followed by Noel Edmonds (though everybody thinks the latter is an accident).
