I would just like to find a corner of England where you can go about your business around normal people. No Fascists, conservatives, chavs, dickheads. Lake district is the closest I have come in England.
I have no interest in moving abroad. I love travelling and Tennessee is tempting, but I'd miss too much of life over here - particularly the Albion. I'll stick to holidays.
Ireland has Europe’s worst binge drinkers, with the British not far behind, according to an EU survey (David Charter writes).
One in three Irish drinkers admits to having at least five glasses every time they go to the pub, compared with about one in four of British drinkers.
The survey is likely to increase pressure on the Government to do more to tackle alcohol abuse, particularly among young people, after the introduction of new extended opening hours which came into effect in November 2005.
Five per cent of British drinkers boasted that they did not stop until they had had at least ten pints of beer or glasses of wine. The Eurobarometer survey of 1,000 drinkers in each of the 27 EU countries suggests that the most responsible drinkers come from southern Europe.
