UK, Ireland /
England, Dirty, Expensive and a dangerous place to live? [205]
As for it being expensive over here, if you compare wages in UK and Poland and then compare the prices of food, living etc. in both of those countries i think you can safely say that the Brits are still better off.
As we like to say it's all relative J, you're average family is suffereing and struggling in the UK...Most young couples cant get on the property ladder and more and more houses are being respossessed because of the rise in utiltiy bills, interest rates and general day to day out goings...Why do you think the average family size for an English couple has shrunk from 3 kids in the 1970's to 1 in the 2000's?
Prices at Polish airports are especially rediculous.
Hmmm, we cant really bring airports in to this, I paid nearly £6 for a sandwich at Malaga airport not long ago.. (Im making my own butties next time ;0) )
In UK you can easily survive even on £600 a month.
That doesnt even come close to covering my bills sweety, nor does it for it anyone I know.
is this problem was made by la abor party? do they made working class British people toothless?
Nice to see you back Mr DB ;0) Where have you been?
(London as a whole generally speaking hence the higher wages there to counteract this)
A secretary will earn circa. 25K in London, so no, the wages are not at all much better.
It depends on the area as to where is Dirty
Ive been to quite few cities in Britain with my pervious job and in comparison to a lot of places Ive visited in Europe (Ive visited quite a few) they are disgusting and makes me ashamed, we are a dirty country.
Manchester
South Manchester, or Gunchester as we got the rep, these were in predominently black areas where the crime is rife....Look at upmystreet for Whitefield and then look at Moss Side! You can see a big difference.
Withenshaw
I think there was one incident there that was blown out of proportion...I lived in Whalley Range for a year and there were regular drive by shootings...I come from an area where I could walk anywhere at any time of day, whilst living in Whalley Range I only used taxes and never went to the local shop on my own!
