  • Comment on: Government should meet extra Tube upgrade costs not Londoners, warns Assembly

    Why shouldn't Londoners be expected to fund this venture? Fortunately I live in a very small village in Oxfordshire without street lighting and if we want it we have to pay for it.

    Whatever profession you have I think practicing in the UK is the problem. At 27 I had to leave the UK as my monthly salary was never quite enough, so I went to the Bahrain to help the client with the construction of their first state of the art hospital. Then to Saudi with Aramco where my dream came true - massive projects - lots of responsibility - It was like being highly paid to continue with your hobby. I retired at 42 to the UK and after 2 years hated it. So I started freelancing and have throughly enjoyed it but it meant working all round the world - I am still at it in Asia, now 65 and love every day - How many people do you know based in the UK can say that.
