Participant[quote=sdduuuude]I looked at a trip to England for the Olympics next Summer. CHA-CHING ! Was infeasible for our family of four.[/quote]
Sure, for the Olympics. They’re gonna be in LONDON!
You can travel cheaply in the UK or you can go to London. You can’t do both.

Participant[quote=svelte]As you would expect,we’ve found prices drop a huge amount as you move away from London. Try a city a couple hours from London if you want to stretch your money.[/quote]
When I went back in April we flew into Manchester and then did a counter clockwise loop out through York, up the coast into Edinburgh then back down to Manchester.
We found that it wasn’t quite as expensive as we’d been led to believe. Many places you could get a pint for a pound or two. The most we paid was about 3 pounds which would be equivalent to the $5-6 we paid over here. We found most meals and other charges were similarly priced.

Having worked in a union and also been a member of “management” I could never understand how unions think that “time in” & not merit or performance would work in the long run. Your achievers and “do”ers have to sit and take the same raise given to the pieces of garbage that you can’t get rid of due to union rules. Pretty soon those “do” ers throw their hands up and join the mediocrity or leave. Pretty much what happened to communism. [/quote]I’ve never been able to figure out why more people don’t understand this. This is EXACTLY what a Romanian, fresh off the boat and having suffered through Ceausescu told me. “They treat us like children so we act like children.”
People don’t work hard in communist countries for the most part. There is no point, you get the same pay as the person next to you loafing.
Unions, like Communism, reward mediocrity and laziness.

Participant[quote=briansd1]I heard from people in the industry that Samsung people work very hard and make nice products.[/quote]
Da Comrade.
They aren’t working hard enough. The GPS on my Samsung vibrant isn’t worth a shit. It jumps all over the place making tracking my walks/runs impossible. I doubt I’ll buy another Samsung.
