Sleeping with the french

No problem Mike.....Anna has just arrived home!

By the way our Electricity has gone also!!

What else can you, or anybody else think of that we no longer own?

Jaguar, Landrover, and RollsRoyce cars all now owned by foriegn companies. Not Sure about Rollsroyce air engines but after the recent super-jumbo Quantas Airline engine failure, shares have today fallen.

Cadbury's Chocolate now owned by American company.

Premier league football teams (Founder members of the Football Leagues) mostly owned by foriegn investors. The national football team run by a foriegn Manager.

Its OK having foriegn investors owning our successful British businesses  but any profit they make is not pumped back into our ecomy meaning that we have to reley on the 'greedy' banks to lend us even more money at high interest rates

Students will have to borrow more in order to pay their way as unis increase their fee's so a young couple graduating will owe possibly£50,000 between them before setting up home together. 

Don't bother with the coat James - just start running!! lol

Theoretically a global village sounds like a great thing to have, but I have serious doubts that it will work in the long term.  Who would ever think of putting bees, wasps and hornets in the same nest and expect them to live, eat, sleep & work together!  And I seriously doubt there would be any honey produced!!!

just as a magnet always will have a positive AND a negative, a top and a bottom, a left and a right, an up and a down, so must society,

Hopefully the centre will be the equalibrium, balancing out the extreme left and extreme right.

I remember in the late 60's a record by a 'black' girl in the English charts, i think she was named Madeline Bell, and the song 'Melting Pot'

'What we need is a great big melting pot, big enough to take the world and all its got. Keep it stiring for an hundred years or more and turn out coffee coloured people by the score.' 

To some extent it is working, just about 6o more years to go I think.
