lol sorry but seriously!!!!??? I thought you were from New Zealand? Do they teach you that your part of the UK? New Zealand is part of the British Empire. The UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. you're part of it's territories.

Sorry but who is the ignorant one here? New Zealand is part of the UK??? lol sorry.

I found this interesting:

The NHS provides healthcare services for more than 95% of the UK's 60 million residents. Between 2007 and 2008, 6.5 million appointments were missed with hospitals losing around £100 per patient in revenue.

I am thankful I have health insurance. Would I want a neighbor, friend or foe, that can't afford health insurance to go without care? NO.

And there are over sixty-one million people who live in the UK. That's like what, around 10%? Not a huge number, by any means.

no I wasn't serious. That's why I said "technically"

It's a joke among Kiwis that Mother England would come to the rescue if pirates tried to take over.

It's something the UK-ers that live here say to the Kiwis to get 'em riled up. You ladies seem to miss most of my humour, I'm not surprised you missed that one.
