I could not agree more .. it is not just a crying shame, it\'s a bloody sham .. and by the way, anger seems to suit you sir .. Neville

The systems a farce. They need high realestate prices to keep the wealthy spending. Sydney is out of reach for the average punter, locals are selling out and taking their money to the regions, pushing permanent renter up, or out, with air up your b&v, while in the city commercial realestate is empting!
On top of that you we have urban sprawl, congestion, the list goes on......
Government red tape that s l o w s e v e r y t h I n g down, and workers that don\'t want to work.
But don\'t worry, they announced today that yoga teachers will get preference, when applying to immigrate.

Housing Crisis

After the war, there was a massive building programme in the UK. New towns sprang up and prefabs were available. There was no housing crisis or homeless people on the streets. Today, there is no affordable housing and no social housing has been built. Really sad for young people. They feel they can’t get a foot on the housing ladder. A very topical post Dave.

Your last lines tells the story of worlds problems Kudos Dave, I agree whole heartedly that attitudes have changed, and those who should help have no interested and those who need help are simply lost. First and for most I come from a place that taught me to help myself as it is the only way I could move forward.

I just love this, it\'s definitely the sort of thing that happens to me especially when I have friends over that I haven\'t seen in so long, love the imagery and all the joy I got from just catching up. I have a couple of girl friends coming over separately this summer and this just makes me feel so happy. 🤗

I lived for a while, when young, on top floor - 14th floor - of a block of flats.
I worry if I lived there now - what if there was a fire? Thought there was only once, in a rubbish chute. I would feel claustrophobic living there now. And no Fidos allowed there, aww.

Love the humour here Dave. I experienced living in a block of flats many years ago. Her upstairs always put her washing machine on at 11.00pm. The final spin, an hour later used to do my head in as the ceiling shook. Sounds like you had a good evening.

Saving the underprivileged from a terrible fate was a noble act although kidnapping I can\'t condone. A fun read Dave.

The Hopeville Hilton Hospital - ity
sorenbarrett said:
I once had a patient that said God was talking to her through her TV it came about she had been watching too many TV evangelical shows and one took on the form of God. Although there is humor and sometimes irritation in such people they are people none the less and deserve the same respect. Loved the write.

Meera Mere said:
\"Attempts to define them must surely fail –
Descriptions are futile; let’s have a tale.
I know the love I feel, you know yours too;
Please keep it that way and give life it’s due.\"
Can\'t be expressed better. This poem certainly eased a part of my mind. Thank you so much Doggerel Dave 😊

This marks your and my age in that I remember the ride on steam locomotives when you had to keep the windows closed so as not to dirty your shirt. A fun read and yes poetic license is to be encouraged.

That gives new meaning to passing wind. Most interesting in that it seems that people will go to enormous lengths to further war.
