the pigeon man Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I doubt it.Even the British internet is depressed. Seriously though,just look at what Great Britain has given the world-the internet, DNA, television, jet engine, radar, viagra, penicillin.This country is far from screwed. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Can anyone please pinpoint a moment in time when Britain was Great, and the people were happy, wealthy and contented? I do believe that there has never been such a time and the closest I can think of was during the last govenment when we had money (even though it wasn't ours) food and energy was cheap and all we had to moan about was Iraq. Good question but the answers people give will all be relative to what they were seeing/doing at the time. For me I think it was mid 80's through to early 00's. I am sure there are plenty on here who would say this was the worst time for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think its time we at Admin considered a "Samaritans" section. Thats where the depressives can post their "doom and gloom" and "the end of the world is nigh", topics and receive some therapeutic counselling from those among the membership so trained (or inclined). We could also add a large "YAWN" smilie to the list, for other members who wished to add their input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the pigeon man Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Being back death penalty !!

I do believe that there has never been such a time and the closest I can think of was during the last govenment when we had money (even though it wasn't ours) food and energy was cheap and all we had to moan about was Iraq. Problem is, it is not widely realised that Britain has never been great=good. Great (Greater would have been more accurate) relates to the sum total of the constituent countries. I'm now of the opinion that the country has descended to the level of my school reports, namely: could do better, below average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unapalomablanca Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 he has a point compared to a lot of places we got it good Maybe a better idea to compare your standards with somewhere better like sweden, which i have been told is a much civilised place.

Oli Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 The misery guts on here who feel the need to hide under their bed and whine seem to me to be the ones who are trying to or are bringing the place down, if you look out your window and all you see is a sink hole, grime and chaviness it might be sensible to consider what the people looking back are seeing.

wymberley Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 This country is so run down, broken and trouble torn that we need to tell the rest of the World that we should not be referred to as Poundland. Should the "not" be now? thankfully dear boy there will be plenty of ghastly Romanians to fill them soon Magic! I think its time we at Admin considered a "Samaritans" section.

welsh1 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I have travelled all over the world,and every time the plane flies over this island i am amazed at how stunning and green it looks,without doubt this is still an amazing place to live,all this hype and hatred stirred up by the tabloids is because they need to sell papers. It will never be utopia but look around you,you have a house ,food,computer,most of us shoot and roam around beautiful landscapes,wake up and smell the coffee,it ain't perfect and it might be slightly broke,but i don't want it fixing. This green and pleasant land(view from my garden) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
