Its like that frustrating challenge you see on TV where you have to remove the bar of gold from the glass case through the hole with one hand.
On TV? They that in Mall of Qatar & Mall of Dubai. I sometimes forget that we're in totally different world. How far the UK has fallen.

Every time I return home for Christmas etc, I'm so disappointed at the state of things. The garbage on the streets, the homeless people, the junkies and general ghettoization of the city centres. I'm always pleased to get the hell away from Manchester or London as soon as I have got off the plane.
