Yeah well we have the same thing in England, it's on the news at the moment about that and I think it's a very difficult thing probably for them to please. I mean you look at apparently places like Dubai, I was looking at a blogger, he was in Dubai and he does regular vlogs of his travels. Anyway he left his phone in a store and remembered and then went back for it and it was still in the same place. Nobody, I mean obviously America or England or Germany he was commenting it would have been stolen but apparently it's all a question of culture and the way people are brought up you know. So you've got all that and you know you've got so much disparity in the states of course. I do watch a show called Million Dollar Listings Los Angeles and you see some of the homes that go for 50 million, they are absolutely fabulous. And you know they talk about millions as though they are talking about or playing Monopoly H.I. you know like 51 million, no 50, 49 million you know and it is quite funny watching the show for the way they handle millions of dollars in numbers over. Yes, I'm sure it's funny to some. You're probably well aware that in the U.S. there are some huge income disparities. Elites really seem to love billionaires, so we have a lot of them and on the other hand we have a lot of people that have incomes of $50, $60, $70,000 which $60,000 seems like almost the poverty line. It's not literally the poverty line but it's hard to have a family and cars here cost the average price for cars over $50,000. So compared to what they were a few years ago, many things are quite a bit more expensive and housing prices have generally been high. Some places we've kind of dropped off a little bit because we're in a little bit of a recession although the government would never want to admit that. But generally speaking, prices have continued to go up despite claims to the contrary and I don't know, I guess I won't talk about politics on here too much, but it's kind of an unspoken thing on this repeater that we don't really discuss politics, religion, I think that's probably pretty common throughout the ham world, but anyway, it's challenging for some people here, so the wage disparities are so incredibly high, especially with top executives and so forth. Anyway, I'm sure you don't have any of those problems in the UK. Back to you.
