Betty,
Look, I came to this forum because you are supposed to behave here and not be nasty to other posters. I use another forum where posters swear at each other and are quite nasty. No complaining to the mods stops it. There was program on the BBC recently on The Digital Human about behavior on forums becoming worse, with threats and bad language. I was only replying to your post to tell you about our experience with old age payments. If you can't accept that, tough.

PS I won't bother you again.

Norman,
If we weren't so old, we would sell up and move to France.

Betty,
I am a retired US citizen and have been living in England permanently for nealy 30 years. I get a monthly SS payment from the US and my British wife, who has been in the US for about ten days in her life, also gets one because she is married to me. Should she give it back? I have never paid into the British system, but get free prescriptions and free eye tests, but the glasses cost money.

Norman,
Can I have your WFP? We don't have central heating. On the other hand, our house is 'worth' over £400,000 and is paid for.

Pickles,
Did Wilson have tea parties for miners when he closed mines and Thatcher didn't?

Betty,
The miners were shovelling coal into the engines,

dave,
A program I wanted to see last night about Muslim divorce was replaced by yet more, er, stuff about Thatcher.

I was in a pub for a couple of hours yesterday and when I got home, I realized that nobody mentioned Thatcher. Only sports.

Annette Funicello has also died.

Matt,
We only holiday in France and do the occasional day trip to Calais to shop.

Matt,
Some of that stuff is on a dropdown list of ingredients in the Soap Calculator part of the link I previously posted. For some reason, I could only get as far as the letter 'b'.

Wash your mouth out with soap!

I posted the question on this thread because I didn't want to upset the poster who didn't reply to my reply elsewhere. (It was about making soap in France.)
David

Is it just my imagination or do people ask questions here, then don't bother to reply when somebody answers? It's not like that on other forums I use.

Matt,
That takes me back. Mu mother and grandmother made lye soap in the 1940s-50s when I was a kid.

And to think that I actually voted for Huhne to be leader of the Lib Dems. I have since dropped my membership.

Yep, I have seed it. One last comment, as this thread is reallllly off-topic now and some posters might find it is becoming tedius. According to the Interim Report, you must have stayed at Bushfield Camp. Monty Don says hi to everybody here on another social network.

idun,
And I replied to Betty to tell her my experience. After all, this is a forum for an exchange of ideas, or I thought it was. As I said, I don't expect nastiness here or I wouldn't have posted. The language and nastiness on another forum I use would shock most posters here.
Like you, I think most (maybe all) politicians are out for all they can get. I quit the Lib Dems after many years of being a member, even though being an American I can't vote, because of the coalition and 'problems' with MPs and Lords. I take and keep anything any government wants to give me.
I forgot to say that I read about this forum in Living France msagazine.
