Do you still consider overseas travel a good use of your money?Each to their own, we live in a great country and have lots to offer the tourist from abroad, but their countrys have lots to offer us too. I am nigh on 65 yrs of age and there are just as many thing in this country that i have not seen just as there are things abroad that i have not seen. Viking hit the nail on the head when our weather was mentioned, if we had the same amount of sunshine as Spain, we may as well sit on a beach here and spend our cash amongst the local shops,bars and Theater etc.ViewDate:

Would you be prepared to pay more tax to fund the NHS?In the 1950's, we had steam trains, for these we needed an Iron foundry along with machine shops, Boiler makers welders etc etc not forgetting the coal to power them. Thousands and thousands of workers paying into the NHS in the days before multi million pound scanners etc. Those jobs are long gone, along with the thousands upon thousands of pounds of contributions paid into the health service. It would appear that today we have the scanners and all the advances in technology but with far less money being paid in. The government does not help by turning the screws on the people who run the hospital's to meet deadlines with ever decreasing finance available, Not only that, The government must insist that people visiting this country should have health insurance to cover them for any treatment that they receive from the NHS .(as we do in their country) We all must pay more into the NHS before the powers that be scrap it and adopt a private health scheme like that in the states. To have the best we have to pay for it!
