"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill
Socialism is idealism married to the state, which always descends into tyranny.
"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." - Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.
"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men." - Winston Churchill

Alas, an all too common problem these days.
Yeah, but wouldn't you love to own a RotoRooter Franchise there?! [Or whatever the UK plumbing equivalent is!]
Karen
"UK plumbing equivalent"!
Don't forget, there is some truth behind the song "The gas man cometh..."
The only qualification most UK plumbers, etc, need is how to ask: "How about a cup of tea, love, while I get my tools out?"
As for Venice they'd look at the picture and say: "Oh, I don't like the look for that; I don't like it one bit. I'd better have a cup of tea".
:-D [I love Flanders and Swann.]
Have you ever seen the film, "YANKS?" Starred Richard Gear and a bunch of others. About 3 US soldiers of different classes and they fell in love with when they were stationed in the UK during WWII. [Before Normandy landings.] Opening scene more troops coming into camp and one of the US sargeants was asking when the piping would be fixed. And the [Uk] guy is standing in a muddy trench ""I'll get right on that, soon as I've had me tea."
Sargeant "This whole island floats on tea."
Given the damp weather I can't say I blame you!
I haven't had that singular pleasure. One of my favourite lines from a film is from the final scenes of “From Here to Eternity”: The Japanese have just commenced the bombing of Pearl Harbour and Burt Lancaster is heading out of the barracks into the firing line. NCO to Burt Lancaster: “Don’t go out there without a gun, you’ll get shot.” Burt Lancaster to NCO who hasn’t yet put on his trousers: “Don’t go out there without your pants, you’ll get cold!”.
And yes, F & S ROCK! 'Ave some Madeira, m'dear....
:-D I like "Nobody wants to hear about Vanessa" too. And of course the "Gnu" song. I've read before the song "Nu" was the only way it was pronounced - but after the "Gnu" song became popular, "Gah-Noo" became an acceptable way to pronounce the word!
BTW, I wonder if anyone still uses the phrase "Come up and see my etchings" anymore.
About 20 years back, a coworker and I were joshing around about "seeing etchings" (while we were gossiping about someone's proposed tryst. We both laughed, but a young, just out of college girl had NO idea what we were talking about! [We informed her - no sense walking around too young and too naive.]
'BTW, I wonder if anyone still uses the phrase "Come up and see my etchings" anymore.'
I do; which probably explains why I'm still single! ;-)
Oh Lordy, Philip --- I WANT to look at your etchings.....LOL
(Gemmie - don't tell Philip but I have a HUGE little old lady crush on him)
Choke - Splutter - Blush!
LOL
Trust me, A, you're better off without. I'm like one of those old American "Gas Guzzlers": comfortable, but expensive to run!
