I love my house and it's road ... .but HATE living in England as a whole
the public (well, those who are working for a living) are getting screwed over BIG TIME at the moment.
We want to get nice things but the government are always putting obstacle in the way and it's always to do with getting more money out of you. For example, i've worked hard and tried to save hard to get the car i've always dreamed of, but I cant now because it would cost me £400 just to get road tax a year. You then have to take into account the fuel which is absolutely rediculous and general upkeep (it's a silly price just to have a service nowdays) and the list goes on.
The government have their morals all in the wrong place. They want to look good to other countries by helping out etc, but in the mean time we, the british citizen are getting dumped upon. And the politicians dont care because they are earning silly money and getting 0% loans from the tax payers money to get the things they want (if they even need a loan that is). I know every country's government has there good and bad points, but ours just seem to tax everything just to get more money out of us ... and of course our wages rises each year dont cover the extra tax they lay upon us (thats if we even get a rise)
Then you have to look at the people living around you. Im fortunate that my road has lovely people in it, but to get to my road you go through a part of the estate where the residents dont give 2 hoots about their state of living. Everything is cramped and no-one cares about leaving rubbish on the sidewalk for a whole week, and when cats come along and eat through the plastic to get to the wasted food inside, or kids come along and kick the bag around, the original owner doesnt care.... they just leave it.
And dont even get me started on the kids in my area!!!!!!
But the negatives of this country is endless, I could write war and peace on it and still have left half of the stuff i'm not aware of out!
This sadly is the EXACT reason why myself and my fiance have decided not to have kids. the country is beyond repair and I wouldnt want to subject an innocent child to this mess!
I would love to move, but the way our economy is going we wouldnt even get enuogh money together to pay our house off (unfortuantely we bought when the prices were at their highest!), let alone have enough to start somewhere else
living in Columbus, Ohio!!!!
Our Zoo is AWESOME!!!! There's so much to do here and we are not far from Cleveland (where I grew up) and Cincinnati. In the summer we take the kids down to King's Island and up to Cedar Point (our absolute FAVORITE Amusement Park....the coasters ROCK!!!!)
