A TALE OF TWO SEASONS. Last Autumn was just getting going as we left
Korea and now it's kicking off very nicely here in the UK too. We spent a

Can't PAY someone to take it away. Our street began to look quite spectacular - until, that is, the bloody local Council sent its squads of neon yellow-jacketed skinheads to sweep all the leaves up! Something about 'Health and Safety' or similar - 'can't have people slipping on them, now, can we"?!. The locals are often treated like 'big girls blouses' (that's another way of saying 'sissy'). That's one of the things that we see here: no-one seems to be encouraged to take responsibility for themselves. Very 'nanny state'-ish. |
