Children are using American slang from early ages, and we are getting all the fattening waffle makers (sorry to be so stereo typical there it was just an example, but americans are in gerneral portryaed as waffle eaters!) we have things that say 'American.....' we are becoming America! and i dont like it! please dont take this is as racist because im not, i just think Britain should stay Britain.[/b]

Quote The breakfast was attended by representatives of private companies bidding to run 11 diagnostic and treatment centres (DTCs) due to open in December to provide fast-track hip replacement and cataract surgery for NHS patients. They are expected to perform about 100,000 operations a year. It isn't going to happen any time soon, I can tell you that.

NeoSteph Basket Case Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 16494	February 18th, 2006 at 08:46pm It's going to happen sooner than you think, personally I welcome the change, I don't doubt the staff who work for the NHS but it's served it's purpose it improved hygeine, and health/safety regulations after the war and brought standards to health care. But the government seems to tax us more and yet not fund the system. Personally when i make enough money i'll go private myself.

I don't think many I know could. i'm a poor waitress at moment, i'm talking ten years time , plus if everyone had to go private, the price would drop due to influx.
