We get alot of billionaires living in our country so, oil, steel tycoons tend to emigrate here. I think I have this right, that theres more billionaires per square mile than any other city on earth. :dunno: Probably not the case now after this year but when London was booming.

I'm not sure how religious some of the richer "Muslims" in London are!!:o
HAha....
England seems like a really nice place. The one thing stopping me is the Big Brother state.

And its only getting worse, that my feelings anyway, some might not agree with that, but in my humble opinion the police state is getting closer and closer into coming into being. Alarmist? Maybe......:dunno:
The high taxes are another push factor.
Look at what those "high taxes" have gotton London...Economic powerhouse status..home to 2 of the richest pro sports teams on the planet...no longer "city of so many restaurants, yet only 1 sauce"--London is an epicurean powerhouse, many wealthy foreigners who don't seem to worry about those high taxes. I think even the weather has improved in London, where's all that snow that we see in those Dickens movies????
How popular is Top Gear in your country?
And what's the deal with BBC? Is it true that they have no ads?

Me, Im right here :wave:
Scone, but I like a bit of crumpet from time to time
Some people love it, some hate it. I like it :thumbsup:
The reason there are no commercials is becuase, the programs are paid for by the general public. Every year you pay a license fee which covers all of the BBC network, which includes the other channels and the radio stations.
So as the public is paying for the programs their is no need to sell comercial time to pay for it.
It sounds strange but I think its a good system, now if only something was good on

The "Ripper" murders occurred at a time when the police force was evolving into something more "modern" and forensics etc were in infancy! It was the end of an era when cholera, for example, was beginning to be sussed by concluding that victims were drinking from the same public taps.
There might have been more than one murderer.
There were similar murders happening in Whitechapel (East End) and in Southwark (just South of the river Thames).
What made the murders different to other late Victorian crimes was their violence: other killings at the time were normally to do with money.
It is thought that the killer might have been a doctor or surgeon.
It is also thought that the killer might have been a nobleman/royalty.
Files in Scotland Yard pointing to his identity are alleged to point to royalty.
There were hoaxes involved.
The whole situation brought to light the plight of the poor - especially women - in Victorian London. Rather like a Dickens novel.
The murders are oft seen as those of the first known "serial killer."
The murders tell us much about Victorian prudence, sexual forbidding, hypocrisy and the vulnerability, and lack of statute among the urban poor at the time.
Ironically, the problem has not gone away.....

That's the hardest question I can think of!!
Perhaps that massive, swollen, bastard nation lovechild that was spawned by some of our ancestors and others in Western Europe, with the help of those poor Africans, isn't worth having back.
I can't believe I just said that...
We still have Burmuda
You give us Bermuda...we'll give you back Georgia. :thumbsup:
Nah, we like having the 'triangle' I suppose if you throw in the entire Bible belt we might consider it. Its always handy to have a few million true believers on your side.
Just incase they're right and were wrong

I like Top Gear as wel...
Don't get me started on the fucking TV licence - ROBBING BASTARDS!
Well, you may have just shot yourself in the foot there titman, your general demeanor during this entire sale, tells me that Georgia is defective in some way and your just trying to get rid of it because no one else will take it.
Well I aint no sucka, Im walking away from the deal. Sorry no sale, you lost me tits I think a little work is needed on your sales technique. :hatsoff:
