Are We Mugs? Day after Day more and more stories come out about how we, the British public, are getting ripped off left right and centre. I know this won't affect many people on here but : http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/20070503/tuk-brits-in-eurostar-rip-off-dba1618.html Is it because we don't moan or complain and just take it up the exhaust pipe?
I would have LOVED to have taken the eurostar to do my london/brussels trips .... but yeah, its a complete rip off - 150 to 200 quid. I got flights instead ..... 100 quid! What kind of world is this when its cheaper to get into a gas guzzling plane eh.
I don't think we are mugs, we just are lazy and can afford to be so. Nothing like wealth to induce apathy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Where did you read that? The Sun? I think we're one of the laziest countries in Europe by a long way - we may work "long hours" but we certainly aren't a hard working nation - don't we top the league for people taking sick days, etc.?
Our sick days might out number other countries, but you wanna have a look at the holidays. In Luxembourg I get 35 days a year contractually, and about another 15 legal/religous days off. France gets even more I think.
