Well yes, and ha ha ha ha , if you live in Daily Mail World. This is very true in an ironic way, but I dont see it. I go to work, my kids are more than great, I go out with people that are wonderful, the NHS is great, education seems to work, I even experienced a train being held for my late running connection tonight, my dad gets seen for cancer within 48 hours of diagnosis.
When I first heard the DFABT slogan I was tempted to agree with it especially as it was criticised on Wogan's religious spot this morning. It is at least very witty.
But when I think about it, 99% of life isnt like that. Sometimes, I experience a bit of grief, and yes I go round picking up people's litter, and look after the inappropriate rubbish put out in the street, and tolerate a shitty neighbour, but that is life, isnt it? There are always going to be twats in this world, and may be there are more of them in the UK than elsewhere (thanks, Maggie). The world is made hell by our ravening media

Tesco are opening some stores around Ca. One opened this week and we went all the way to Chula Vista, about 50 miles, to have a look. Disappointed, they didn't sell loose leaf tea or McVities Choco bickies. The stores are called Fresh and Easy, it's non union so the local 'workers' were handing out fliers protesting. I thought you might like to know the flier was produced by
'Fresh and Queasy',
a project by the Unions.
That article sums up the crappy British attitude and self esteem problems.
Every day I meet good, happy, positive people who care. Just because we have an element of yob culture in this country, it becomes the focus of attention and opinion.
We are by no means perfect but people who jump onto the "lets bash Britain" bandwagon should try to live in many other countries which are ten times worse. (But actually ten times moer positive!)
Peace
