Default Re: The cost of living

It makes for some interesting reading some of the comments posted above. Like dizzy, I too have circa 18k's worth of student loans to look forward to. After completeing a B.Eng(Hons) degree, I am currently studying for a doctorate in Engineering (Oh God why?!?!) to hopefully 'better' my chances of a more viable job. But all I see around me in this country is 'tax this, tax that' as has already been mentioned. Once the debts are paid, I can honestly say that I don't see my self living in this country for a minute longer.

It seems a shame to say it, but I've had enough. My father came here 45 years ago to give himself and ultimately me, a better chance in life. He came from a very poor country let's just say! It also seems a tremendous waste on the part of the British taxpayer for 'footing the bill' for my education, but as I say, enough is enough.

I also have personal reasons that I'm not going to go into too much detail at the moment, but let's just say that my religion and race don't exactly put me at the top of the tree! But that could just be my take on it.

And to top it all off, London is now fast becoming the developed worlds number one ****hole to live/work in. It's full of scum and quite possibly the last place on earth you'd want to raise children in. It's amazing how much a city can change in 20 odd years......
