Stevie Wonder cannot drive. He has been blind since he was an infant. The idea of him driving is a running joke and a popular topic for humorous skits and anecdotes.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidThe joke is Not that I wrote this obvious falsehood, poking fun at your lib government for giving a license to the illegal alien truck driver*,,,,but, that you all took the post by me as a serious post. You again miss the issue, that your lib govt just hands out permits of all natures to any and everybody, It is you turkeys who tood the bait.

* One of you said he was not illegal because he was issued the DBL ( I dont even know what that is). but having a DBL does NOT make a person legal.
And this begs the question....your saying that he was leeeeeeeeeeggal tells me that you WANT him to be legal? The killer of three innocent civilians, on their way to the beach? Child in back seat blowing up his water floaties???
Y'all are just great. I'd like to introduce you to my friends at church.

Hey Ghost, how about men. Ae there any men on the Forum?
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidNever pay attention to them, I find this site, as I find just about everything in the world, to be USA-based, so don't bother. I did once look at Shouse to see if he was from some planet somewhere.
What flag do you see on my profile?
@AverageJoe1 saidI'm in the UK. A place where freedom of speech has a grown up application and where rifles can't be picked up in a supermarket.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYeah, you are right about rifles. But tell me,, how was I able to buy a rifle silencer in Wotton-on-Edge a few years ago at a gun shop in town? And how was I able to shoot pheasant at a Club in Yeovil, Somerset last year?

I would move there except for any of these pesky problems.The WEATHER! ugh.
Sorry the list is so long. How is the snow skiing there? I like the powder in Aspen etc, but the crunchy stuff in Maine creates a great challenge.
Disadvantages of living in the UK include the high cost of living, particularly for housing, and the unpredictable weather. Other drawbacks are long waiting times for NHS services, a highly competitive job market, expensive and unreliable public transport, and challenging visa and banking processes for foreigners.
Economic & Practical Disadvantages
High Cost of Living:
.
The UK is an expensive country, especially in major cities like London, with high costs for housing, food, and other daily expenses.
Expensive Housing:
.
Finding affordable housing is difficult, with high prices for both renting and buying property.
Visa & Banking Hurdles:
.
Foreigners face stringent and costly visa requirements and can find it difficult to open a UK bank account.
Expensive Public Transport:
.
Rail travel, in particular, is costly compared to other European countries, and the service can be unreliable.
Long Waitlists for Healthcare:
.
While healthcare is free through the NHS, there are often long waiting times to see a doctor or specialist.
Environmental & Social Challenges
Unpredictable and Poor Weather:
The UK is known for its rainy, cold, and unpredictable weather, which can impact daily life and the ability to sleep comfortably at night.
Social Isolation:
Some individuals and expatriates may experience difficulties making friends and building social networks.
Career & Cultural Factors
Competitive Job Market:
.
The UK has a highly competitive job market, which can make it challenging to find and access lucrative roles.
Low Wages Outside London:
.
Wages can be comparatively low for many jobs outside of London, which might not compensate for the high cost of living.
Cultural Differences and Culture Shock:
.
New arrivals may experience culture shock due to differences in customs, social norms, and even difficult accents to understand.
Brexit Impact:
.
The political and economic landscape following Brexit can create uncertainty. Ouch.
