I find it difficult to run wearing my shortened downpipes that are strapped to my shins.

That's why you find a true Welshman wears trainers and long socks

The UK in general matey

I reckon the place is doing surprisingly well considering half the country doesn't want to do a day's work and a good percentage of the rest think turning up is enough to warrant a hefty salary.

Granted our public services are a shambles, but it's difficult to know why when the the number public employees continues to soar. What can those people be doing all day? We continually hear about an underfunded NHS, yet health service funding is higher at an eye-watering level, with year on year increases which have now become staggering. The number of doctors is 3.5 times higher than in 1995, having seen steady year on year increases. The number of nurses has risen dramatically, despite a slight drop between 05-13, and is almost double what it was in 1995. Huge number of extra employees and incomprehensible amounts of money, yet no one can get a hospital bed or an appointment with their GP.

It's very easy to see why people might think the country is on its knees, but few manage to point their finger in the right direction.

Let's not turn this into a politics debate.

It would be nice to not read the sort of comment which opens that door.
