Being blamed for just about everything that is wrong with the UK because I'm an immigrant.

While I agree that there are far worse places to live two things get my goat.

1. Our lack of winning attitude. We always seem to cheer the underdog and celebrate people who don't win as national heroes. We'll never have a winning sports team as long as this attitude continues. And none competitive sports days......

2. The fact that we are ashamed to be English. I am personally proud of my heritage and history and will tell anyone who cares to listen how great it is to be from this country, even if our football/cricket teams suck. (See point 1). We produce possibly the best music in the world presently, the Premier League is the most watched league in the world with all the cream of the worlds footballers falling over themselves to come here, James Bond would kick Indiana Jones ass any day of the week. Alot of the best video games are made in this country. Cup of tea anyone....I could go on.....

The problem is that after many years of successive Tory governments successfully dismantling government, we have had 11 years of this shower making government grow faster than anything else. This is why tax is so high - it's needed to pay for it all. What makes it worse is that we are so used to all the lies that have been peddled to hide it that we don't listen any more.

It's actually my biggest gripe too. Overbearing and mendacious government.

Petrol prices are one thing, but I wont complain until it costs me more than £15 to fill my bike up from when the light comes on.

I dont like the feeling of speed camera's everywhere, I dont trust their calibration.

ANd I HATE THE STATE OF THE ROADS!!!!! most are falling apart
