Drebbel, don't come here to retire you need to be rich, but that's another subject.

I didn't know you could get them on the NHS? I must be seeing the wrong doctors...would sure sort out stress problems...I'll have to recommend it when I go there next...what...it's not IFV, it's IVF? Aaaah...

Well...to be honest with you, Britains population is growing at a rate of which we cannot sustain it, we have an high elderly population and a rapidly growing youth population; most of the former centred on the Suffolk coastline and most of the latter in a council estate in East London, if anything we should be discouraging people to have children not encouraging them! I know that we're close to becoming an [geography mode] aging population [geography mode/] but sometimes being on the balance is better than being an extreme in both directions. It'll have hell to play in the future, we're already seeing it in house prices and lack of housing. Building more houses is only a short term solution, sooner or later you're going to run out of land...or, as current [ITV

] news headlines would have it, run out of water.
So...it's probably best not to...it's a tough decision and I know that it helps many people, but at the end of the day, at what cost?
