Dear Lord, this socialist-lite 'Conservative' governement is delivering

If I was going to retire to Africa, Zambia would be at the top of my list, I think. Maybe second, after TZ.

In fact, r, my retirement list currently looks like this:

1. Cumbria
2. Cornwall (Too crowded)
3. Southern France (Too many euros required)
4. Thailand (Can't go until the wife's 50)
5. Cambodia (Too gangstery for the missus' taste)
6. Tanzania (Too much chance of instability)
7. Zambia (No sea)

As you can see, this is a most pleasing list. Which is your favourite?

I "retired" to France ages ago. Bought land, built a house on it; took a wife and and she raised our children here. I shan't be moving.

Wales is definitely off the table, then?

Chinamen are almost as bad p and you darned well know it. Anyway, when I was last in Penang there were allans and masjids all over the shop.

Yer malaysian chinaman is a nice enough chap. Pro-british, not particularly pro-China, and they dont mind you having a beer and a fag.

Wonderful food, great weather, and the E&O. Heavenly.

You can make more of it by getting more 'bang for your buck'. Anyway, Penang is beautiful. It even has a Downing Street

The food, with the exception of roti canai, can't compare to Thailand though, can it? Or Cambodia. Or the 'Nam.

Yes. That's like your boss saying, "Instead of me paying you more, why don't you just move to a worse neighbourhood."

Terrific.

Couldn't find a suitable food retailer.

No Waitrose, no Booths, no posh butchers/greengrocers, no party. That's my motto.

You should have looked at the Marches - around the Abergavenny area. It's quite civilised there.

Right. Giving up our smart phones before they were invented was an amazing sacrifice. wd us.

But seriously, the cost of housing is out of control, and blaming millenials for being whiny doesn't really cover it imo. The stamp duty thing is a good tax cut.

And making rail travel cheaper for them encourages them to get a place further out of town. And where I work we do discounts to U30s as they have less disposable income.

See my calculation below. My first how cost me the equivalent of £1,400 a month. I struggled to afford it whilst these poor babies moan and bitch and breakfast on avocado on toast.

VEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Sorry sodd. I mean v.

I would say the food in Penang is the equal of anywhere I have been. The chinese food is, without question, the best I have ever tasted by a mile.

That said, I always go to Penang with a Penangite so he chooses where we eat and takes us to the best places.

No, the list is complete now, I refuse to muck about with it any more. Until she tells me otherwise.
