Funny thing is storm damage from Hurricanes and tornados spawned from same storms don't just pick and choose who's home will be destroyed:sneaky2:

I am sure if asked the people of the UK would and could pull together in times of emergencies :thumbup1: As for your last question I carry my own health and medical insurance, over here it's not a right, it's a personnel responsibility :thumbup1:. O BTW when I travel to the UK I take out a special policy so as to not burden your countries health care system during my stay. Again going back to personnel responsibility.

No my point was we dont get storms that wipe out thousands of homes. A tree surgeon called to a mansion should expect to get paid well on a public holiday. I was trying to say we are just as public spirited as the usa. We may not remove trees free of charge but everyone gets medical care free irrespective of whether they can afford insurance.

There is no such thing as free medical care. High taxation to support the social safety net within the UK pays for the health care system, everything else. Free medical care is available to US citizens and regrettably non or illegal residents. As long as I have a choice I will pay my own way.

I help people that are willing and able to help them selfs because what go' around comes around. More than a saying, my way of life.

Thanks, I like it too, it's a good one to consider occasionally; it offers a sense of perspective and focus on what's REALLY important in my life when things start to get complicated or cluttered.

 

Yes you are right

And for me a good time to read it !

Merry xmas

I've just a call from one of the guys at the LA, to see if I'm available if needed over the next few days, I've made no promises, but said I'll help if I can.

I had a call earlier to ask if I could take a pump out of a leisure centre on the 27th and get it back in on the 28th. Can't do it! I've got a funeral to go to on the 27th. Plus! Working over Christmas ain't for me anymore.
