MYTH:
People in Britain are deeply unhappy with their socialized medicine system, which ours will become.
FACT:
People in Britain are deeply unhappy with everything. It is their only source of happiness.
We British simply LOVE to queue, even when there's no reason to do so; I offer, as an example a recent experience in Sainsbury's when, stood about waiting for a companion to purchase his lunch, 7 people promptly formed an orderly line behind me. Go figure...!
Might I venture to suggest a further fact?
