people in britain that fly planes seem to revel in the fact that it costs money for everything -if you'd all stop being so terribly british and speak up a bit you too could have mercs for free after your complimentary coffee in the lazy boy in front of the big screen -wx brief service is superb they treat both ifr and vfr pilots with the respect they deserve and as many of the briefers are exeperienced pilots themselves they can deliver an instant vfr not recommended -or tell you to put the plane back in the hangar-it may just save some cowboys life

jmore - if you need a weather briefer to stop you flying beyond your limits it reflects poorly on you.. .. .Please no more my country is better than yours.. .. .WWW

England is a rip-off - YES. .Fuel is very expensive - YES. .WE have landing fees - YES. .We have approach fees - YES. .We have loads of tax - YES. .We have a free weather brief - NO. .. .But its my home !. .. .I wish the Government of this once great Island, would start treating its own nationals with a bit more respect and offering a little help - instead of spending millions and millions on useles wastes of money, Dome, wobbly bridges etc. etc. and the continuing payment of money for food and housing to immigrants who come here for a free ride and who do nothing more than escelate the crime rate costing the British Tax Payer even more money (contraversial I know and apologies if it offends)

And how much tax have you paid so far?

...so long as we don't all start waving Union Jacks around, and attaching them to our cars, and stick stickers all over our bumpers saying "God Bless the Great Britain", and all become paranoid, and have 24hr news shows about "Britain at War" every time some terrorist group blows up one of our towns..... . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
