Harvey,
Yes we get paid health care but we have all paid for it as a deduction from wages over the years. Its called National Insurance and works out about 10% of salary from the employee and about 18% from the employer. It cost a lot of money to put my son through college. This was also paid by my wife and myself. If our schools need computors or books, the parents have to raise the money Schooling is paid for by the Poll Tax. I work as a self employed designer. Income tax and insurance are deducted from this. Income tax and insurance are deducted from my earnings as a part time college lecturer and this income is classed as "un earned" by the tax man so gets taxed at a higher rate. Because this is un earned the insurance contribution also increases. We also pay VAT at 17.5% on most things. Our tax burden is one of the highest in the world and finally the worm has turned about the fuel situation. Farmers and hauliers are taking a leaf out of our French neighbors book and blocking roads and fuel depots. Today here in Norfolk they caused major problems on the roads. Only hope they drive a combine or two through the centre of London and really put their point home. It costs around �5000.00 per year in tax to put a big truck on the road. This is before you put anything in the tank. Sorry for the whinge but it does seem, to us in Europe that you have things easy on the fuel front. Please don't take offense. I look on this as a hard discussion amongst friends at the bar. I shall be comeing over next year and don't want you all lineing up at the airport to sock me. Especially Burrhead who fits Dexta sleeves with his bare hands. regards
Brian

Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
