For the Political and Financial Intelligencia here :)
Yellow RoseYellow Rose
El Loro Assuming that Foundation X is genuine, and David James's background is such that he would be able to make a sound opinion, there is the small problem that financial assistance of this nature would in all likelyhood be subject to vetting and approval by the EEC. It would be hard for one EEC country to receive major financial support without other EEC countries being able to participate on an equal basis.

I've thought that for a while Skylark. Someone's post up there^ mentioned 'having the money and going private' I was tempted to post then about it being NHS surgeons/docs/nurses that provide the treatment [ more ]
Former Member I work and have done so since I was 18 and paid my National Insurance . So i feel i am entitled to "free" NHS treatment. But after working with the NHS most of my working life, i beleive a review is badly needed. There are some ops and treatment thru the NHS that quite frankly, people should pay for privately. Some people are taking resourses thru the system that they shoudnt really be doing. I work in an NHS hospital, but the surgeons do private work too, within NHS resourses, which is all... [ more ]
Suzi-Q Reference: Holy crap I didn't think it was a much as $300 a month! That was 12 years ago, no idea how much it is now, but I doubt that the cost has gone down. That's on top of federal tax, state tax, Social Security payments, etc. [ more ]

El Loro There's a story in my mother's family that a long time ago one of her descendants was the butcher for the Royal family. As a result he and his descendants were automatically allowed to attend the Lord Mayor's Banquet. I am not about to find out if I would still be permitted to attend as I wouldn't want to go, and in any case I could find myself being taken off to the Tower of London [ more ]

Karma_ What are wallies? I'm thinking silly people but you can't keep people under your counter so it must be summat else Maybe it's a regional thing, but the price of cod has gone through the roof here.

It'd still buy you a cod and chips and a small pickled onion, We never pay for our fish and chips - it's the family business - and in our shop you could get large haddock and chips twice for 8.20 mushy peas included.
