Plenty of petrol here at stations, we have nat gas plumbed into our home so we can use all the NG we desire. :)

We don't have to wear masks, and life is wonderful here. No WWII-like 'papers please' either.

You should move here, we have some excellent weather and the beaches are filled with youthful happy people.

No crippling ~20 VAT here, just ~7%.

Start packing now my friend, homes are selling fast here as even Yanks in NY, NJ, Calif, etc are moving to other states like Florida and Texas. Here's our promotional video; we look forward to you enjoying our warm weather and beach fun.


Treat EVERY DAY like a vacation. You've earned it!

We have issues at our plant on Georgia with polymers and other industrial supplies. The market is very tight and backed up due to the pandemic and the latest hurricane in the gulf

Went to Ace Hardware the other day and there were lots of chains there. You guys must be looking in the wrong places.

Labor shortages from the basic entry level jobs to highly skilled. Various reasons from govt printing money so people can stay home to older workers deciding they've had enough and retire. If you want to work, there's plenty of jobs to go around.

Those are junk chains. I got a chain guy. Lemme know. Made with all solid, never welded links (put together by professional magicians)

They're trying to get you to eat healthier.

They see you coming and hide them in the back.
