The perfect country.

Great post Karen! Hows life in Sevenoaks now?

I would take the limitless speed's a la Gemarn AutoBahn's on some of the UK's Motorways (more specifically for roads like the M6 toll perhaps).

Wait thats a crap one, how many are we allowed.... I shall have a think...

I like that one. I miss Switzerland. Am pricing up flights tonight in order to escape for a few weeks. Thanks for asking.

In the perfect country the police are English; the chefs are Italian; the car mechanics are German; the lovers are French and it's all organized by the Swiss.

You're only allowed one dairy product as far as I can tell. Other food groups may be OK.

No cheese then, that could be a major problem.

Decent croissants from anywhere but here.

Get down to Raymond Blancs cake shop in Oxford for croissants...

I'm happy with the country I live in apart from the politicians constantly trying to ruin it.

I'd take the discipline of Nazi Germany, the drinking habits of Russia, the weather of the West coast of Scotland, the scenery of the Black Country of England, the accent of Staffordshire, the conspicious consumption of middle America, the health service of the United States and all would be well with the world.

So really, you don't buy into the whole Spanish thing at all, do you? Only as much as it suits you...

Actually no I do Arch, I buy into the concept, just needs a bit of tailoring. Holidaying in Spain is one thing, living with the spanishness without a touch of personalisation would get irritating.

I also want to add the friendliness and generosity of the Egyptians to the table. I never stopped being in awe of how generous they are despite many having nothing.

All you have to do is find a country without politicians - easy!

Easier to line all the politicians up against a handy wall and machine-gun them

Might as well do the priests and estate agents at the same time...

A country without margarine - what's not to like about butter!

Saturated Fat

The pre WW2 transport policy of Bermuda.

(Thats no (zero, 0, 2-2) motor vehicles.)

You forgot the bankers!

Saturated Fat

Which is probably a whole bunch better for you than hydrogenated fat...

What's not to like about saturated fat?

Heart Attacks

I was thankful he had for once. My husband is a banker and sometimes he's nice.
