That is why they have such excellent trains for example, while ours are creaking and hiking their fares to make profits for investors. and that's one of the reasons I despised Blair so much as he continued Major's disastrous privatisation despite saying he wouldn't. And don;t forget they are also subsidised (corporate welfare) as are most industries -even those who make enmormous profits. Throw in the fact so many who base themselves in tax havens and avoid taxation on billions in profits. Sadly ITK speaks in Daily Mail / Fox News type newspeak that has infiltrated the English language for 2 decades now...so that profit making corporations are called "job creators". I've spent my life telling the In The Knows of the world that the corporate profit makers are not their friends. My father was a merchant banker who told me from an early age that the system was a corrupt one designed to mug the ordinary punter and I've subsequently survived very nicely by living outside it.

I thought they looked at me strangely! Libya is also next door,perhaps you were planning a surprise attack?

Innocent Accused	Sorry my tax figures were for France.I go to Belgium on average once a week,on numerous occasions tax has been mentioned as being higher than UK,but I already proved my point,perhaps for once we could reverse rolls and ask ITK to produce some proof? Carefour,often use the Calais one,but a few weeks ago used them all the way down France and into La Linea in Spain. Also use the ones in Bucharest a lot,especially the bigger one in the Militari district,bit pricier than France as it's priced in Lei.Cora is perhaps better value.Not been to budapest since 2004,and then never got past British Home stores. Used Tesco more recently in both Bangkok and Warsaw,both cheaper than their counterparts in Cameron's Rip off Britain. Anyway nuff waffling,the GF is down from Burton,and we're taking a foot passenger trip to Calais tomorrow,and I promised to use my car there to drive her to Brugge.
david	By the way I have never said that France has a lower cost of living than the UK. The Paris Metro is way cheaper than the Tube tho.
