I love this australia was a Colony of the Greatest empire the world has ever seen

and Look at us today compared with the OK

http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/australians-set-for-developed-world-s-big-pay-rise.html Oh how the Mighty has Fallen

Edit 4 thumbs down silly people where is the UK in the worlds Rankings Germany is Richer

Israel has Better Military Germany owns RR Bentley Name One Car company outside Morgan owned By the British the Triumph motorcycle one of the worlds best owned By the Canadians

there is Nothing that i can think of that the UK produces that is Not made as Good or better and Cheaper

and I enjoy going out for Dinner Roast pork 4 veggies for 7 pound a cup of Coffee alone in the UK is 3 pounds well it was last Month and the Australian dollar is worth more that the US Dollar Petrol is cheaper in AU and My British pension of 24.20 pounds a week does Just about buy a 3 course meal in London I took my sister and her partner out to dinner 3 meals Pudding and 6 beers 65 pounds a weeks Pension in the UK

My pension in Australia 23,358 Australian dollars Higher than some Fill time employment wages in the UK

so you can keep Giving thumbs down but it wont hide the Truth

a loyal subject who left before the rats from a terminal ill sinking ship

end of edit

For GB that is Simple Once the RN was reduced in Size in 1972 and the USN was expanded to take up the slack making the US the superpower it desperately needed

the UK has faded away into Oblivion in 1972 they had the worlds Largest Blue water Navy and today they don't even own an Aircraft carrier

Like all empires they all fade Away

When i was in Malaysia in 1964 we still had a Great empire and needed the RN to protect it places Like Canada Australia and NZ after about 1886 no longer needed our protection then after the act of Westminster 1931 to give those members of the empire More Autonomy they decided how Much protection they needed

which was very little well Look at Australia WW2 the USA and the UK Both Said we will defend Australia but when the Time came for Defence the Only people Helping was Australia was the RAF and the Australian Militia

Not Only proving that the USA and the UK never cared but that they Both could NOT help

so with the Empire defending its self the RN was no longer needed as a Great Military power i watched it dissolve very disappointing But as i said all Empires fade away

I am Still proud of My Loyal service In the RAF but sad to see it is only like the Rest of the UK a shadow of its former self never to be resurrected

Not without Leaving the Blood suckers In the EU
