It is ages since I phoned my family in America so I must do it soon. I need to catch up with them. I still wonder what it would have been like if we had moved over there to live and work. It isn't easy, of course, because of all the immigration restrictions. However, we adore the USA and Canada and it does make a difference having so many relatives there. It is so BIG!
One thing that nearly pushed me over the edge and forced me to leave Wales was a suggestion, made recently, that drinking alcohol should be prohibited in order to save the National Health Service some money in treatment of alcoholism and related diseases. Ridiculous! This is way out of order and an infringement of personal freedom. Refuse to treat people with self inflicted damage, fine, but don't stop them doing it in the first place. That is centralised state control gone mad.

But this is no different to the reports over the last couple of years alluding to smokers or over weight people being treated as 2nd class by NHS - do you feel as strongly about that? or do you class alcohol as different?
