Poke your foreign holidays and save the money. No need to go abroad when the weather is like this anyway, paying thousands to have Johnny foreigner slinking about, resenting our presence and over charging us. Undrinkable tap water and in some places like Greece you have to put your s*** rags in a bin ffs, animals. Not for me. That's just a piss take, mine go straight down the u-bend. I'm not kipping in a room with a bin full of poo a few yards away, don't care if it cloggs up their 2000 year old sewer system. That said, i am partial to Cyprus. The people are nice and aren't all lazy 'manyana' types and they drive on the left.

Do you ever have anything nice to say about anyone or anything? I don't suppose that anyone used to British sanitation likes the Greek sewage system but it's not that bad. We rent a villa in Kefalonia most summers and take nappy sacks with us so there is no smell or lack of hygiene. You may not care about clogging up someone's sewage but the people we rent the villa from are a very nice couple and I would hate to land them with a substantial bill to clear out their sewage just because I couldn't be bothered to fit in with local customs Edited by Midlands Eagle (29 Jun 2019 2.45pm)

Having read your posts I was under the impression that it was something else that made you happiest

Work ethics, or lack of a work ethic, comes from the family. Parenting is an underestimated job today.

I was having a laugh anyway mate, although I appreciate observation humour doesn't go don't too well when it's all true. I've been to the middle East and didn't feel obliged to take part in stoning women accused of adultery just because it's a local custom. I'm always positive. As stated I love Haven, Cyprus and being British. Just pointed out a few facts that you saw as a negative because they are. Edited by ChrisGC (29 Jun 2019 3.45pm)

I am a civil servant, contrary to public belief some of us do work long hours, I usually work about 60 hours a week and get paid for 36. I regularly fail to take all of my leave to boot. Maybe I should have sold my soul to the devil... So you're the one! Great stuff. How's that pension and retirement age holding out?

Interesting post from an interesting poster. I feel Work is a deep rooted issue. If I look at myself for example, a self confessed workaholic. I came from a humble background and worked my ass of for years to Love my kids and family etc, love Palace but I constantly feel compelled to be working on something. Aww Tom I will take that as a compliment I think.
