Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I now Caz been on meduk....Heard on the radio today and this is official more People are leaving these shores to settle in foriegn climes than ever before...I wonder why? !! Den, I left for a new life after my first marriage failed. Would I come back???? Never, I could never afford to live in the UK now. Housing and land prices are way beyond my means. Living costs are way beyond my means, Weather's lousy, beers too warm, everyone living in each others backyards..ie too crowded housing. Also too much government intrusion into your day to day lives. We pay $54 a year land taxes, which when the house is finished, will probably go up to $350 a year. Not bad for 80 acres of land! My electric is half what you pay, my propane is way cheaper than your gas. My water costs me the pumping costs and doesn't have chlorine or flouride in it. My food is cheaper, my beer is cheaper, I can buy my Scotch at Xmas half price of yours and the same brand. My truck only costs about 30 bucks a year to register, no MOT's either. My gasoline is one third what you pay. I could go on and on..... Less crime.... I don't need some shiny arsed beaurocrat to tell me where and how I can build on my own land either, and they don't! It's not quite heaven, but a lot closer than the UK is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bip 88 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 What do you mean ! not on that map ! Ok what about this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thats still Arkansas Den, you been boozing again BUT, if you look to the top right, you will see a town called Mammoth Spring, thats where the wife has her Real Estate business, and we are due north of there. NOW find a map of southern Missouri showing the state line. When you do, look for Thayer, then just coming out of Thayer will be hwy 19 heading east to Alton, from the little town of Alton, 163 east for 10 miles and you will see on a good map, state road FF going north, I'm up there a couple of miles.
