Clemens.. I know, you have to experience it to believe it.. I worked overseas for 36 years, there were countries that I used to think were not so great, that in many respects are now better than ours.. The fact in our area is that past UK governments were not considerate to countryside living.. They let just about everything deteriorate, there is now a void between uban / semi urban living and the countryside in our area... The huge worry is that the latest bunch in Westminster are even worse than the last lot.. The first thing they did within a week of gaining power was cancel 99% of the proposed infrastructure upgrades that would have been of benefit to the area.
For some reason the UK government mindset is that everyone has access to easy clean reliable electricity, gas, mains water, roads that are maintained ( be it with pot holes ) and a working phone system both mobile and land line.. but the reality is hugely different in some areas..
They are building the UK's latest and greatest nuclear power station not more than 15 miles from us for the benefit of the nation, yet we are struggling to keep the lights on.. and our power is national grid, not a private supply.
