Yeah alot of brittish are fucking misserable cunts .. but as long as they are moaning then they feel slightly better about them selves. The only two govenment things i use that i can think of are transport (that i pay through the nose for up front with out taxes) and the NHS.
a lot of it is behind the scenes – regulating private companies to ensure they don’t completely take the piss, sort of like a old style nanny banging the kids heads together so they play nicely and don’t bully each other..
The Council does do some useful stuff at least here like take away the trash and provides something approaching a road, and they plant roses under the street signs when on grass verges :laugh_at:
we all use the services indirectly, it is true you are unlikely to directly use the Coastguard (as the PLA look after the Thames until it gets to Essex/Kent coastal areas) but they make sure all the container ships and everything else on the sea is safe and they don’t crash into one another (since moving closer to the North Sea I have become curious about nautical matters :wink:)
there are loads of hidden rocks and wrecked ships around the North Sea, including one filled with a load of old explosives.
Actually the North Sea is full of unexploded ordnance, I think it is worth paying tax to deal safely with this – even more of a closer to home issue fo young Josh, Biotech and Titch!
