Hello Mark, im out of the "snooker club" now mate :lol: Run a small business with the missus. Still have itchy feet though, but I wouldn't go back driving full time, especially around Europe. From what I see and read on here the job is totally (zb). No where near as good (fun!) when I was doing it through the 80`s and 90`s.

I like your idea of selling up everything and moving to a beach hut! I thought about doing that about 6 years ago and moving to one of the Greek islands. Now looking at the state they`re in, thank (zb) I didn't!! :shock:

You did the right thing getting into Canada. There will be war in Europe within the next 10-15 years, the place is a powder keg what with the influx (invasion) of Muslim "immigrants" and the self serving attitude of those supposedly running the show who turn a blind eye as long as they can still get their perks, pensions and salaries.

I hear you mate, I read about the crap that drivers have to endure and thank my lucky stars I don't have to deal with it, over zealous Police in Europe, the migrant crisis, all the health and safety nonsense, it would send me over the cam and I would probably end up inside!

As for the politicians, the current lot are under constant scrutiny from the Internet, yet they carry on stuffing their snouts in the trough regardless, it's beyond my comprehension how there hasn't been an uprising and things are going to get a lot worse when the vote to stay in the EU is cast, then even more EU directives will be forced on Britain and there will be no going back.

I'm so glad I'm out of it, moving here has turned out to be such a good decision, I just wish they would stop putting plastic cheese on everything!
