I don't smoke so can't include tobacco as veg, and I don't drink beer so I can't count hops either...what about if I make sre I add lemon every time I have a gin and tonic?!
It's chocolate that's concerning me, but as I said to Andy, they're never stop me eating it - I'll fight them on the beaches!!!!! |

And by the time I get to retirement age, there'll be no money left in the pot for my generation. That's why it's imperitive that people of my age sort themselves out a private pension scheme. We do have the NHS, though, which despite its flaws is a God-send. |

I don't know what NHS is... By the way...had a guest from over there and left him apparently permanently hungry...our health conscious eating habits would have probably killed your lot within a month or so...not that I love it either... |

Yeah there's meant to be something healthy in dark chocolate isn't there?
Still not sure we'll be able to justify the amount we eat though ![]() |

Having said all of the above about American's "healthy eating habits"...I did enjoy my food in England...in a space of 5 days I've gained over 10 pounds which I can't seem to be able to shed now...but hey...I did enjoy it while it lasted...

And with all this...there are STILL more SUV's on the road...weird...I drive Prius...so...on the other hand...I nearly drowned in flooding resulted from heavy rains yesterday with my Prius ...and while I was driving my economical car...I was chanting... Next time...SUV...next time...SUV... If you live in NY...you can get away without car...anywhere else in the States...you can't survive...the public transportation system is not developed anywhere but in NYC...so...there is no choice...even if you have to drive a jalopy...you still have to drive... Thanks for explanation NHS...learning something every day... |

Our rent/mortgage takes about 3 weeks of our monthly salary...and about one week for EVERYTHING else...nothing is easy... We don't have VW Lupo and I don't think I've ever even seen it...our VW are VERY expensive...where as Prius...not so much... And try to find diesel station here...good luck!!! The only car running on diesel here as far as I know is some old Mercedes models...otherwise...we just don't have those... Hell...our President has interest in oil...do you think we will be running electric cars soon??? |

It is very difficult to persuade a country that is used to huge V8's that give tiny horsepower, and even less fuel efficiency, that small cars are the way forward. The Prius was the first step in the right direction, so hopefully the tide is turning. |

![]() However driving through the fecking rivers here yesterday...I was praying for deliverance and seriously thinking with longing about SUVs...it's not even about efficiency...we get floods and snow storms all the time...and in America...business is business...most businesses stay open in bad weather...and as before I wouldn't have EVER considered SUV...having this car only for a year now...I am seriously thinking about my safety in the future... |
