British citizens find their passports and then themselves welcome in most parts of the world. If you want to work in a country I think if we could find the statistics UK passport holders find it easier than third world passport holders.

Also I can't offer anything other than opinion but spend 5 or 6 years in the UK become a citizen and then the world is your oyster.

As far as I know Quebec Oak is Quercus alba, as the scientific name suggests White Oak. I may be misinformed.

Because we are at the top end of the third world list? An improvement on what they have?

As you say depends on eyesight with the same vision in both eyes as many young people have no need to focus each eye piece. Glasses also come into things. The last pair I bought the first question the dealer asked was "with or without glasses". I said with but wanted to know about which method of eye focusing for if I allowed the family to use them. His first reply was that depends on your optician if he is doing his job properly you won't need to.

The point I am trying to make is there are plenty of houses being built that fit the multi person/bedroom requirement. I have never suggested there shouldn't be. However, the housing problem that seems (at least in my experience) to be greatest is the smaller, cheaper "starter homes". To a certain extent the niche filled by council housing. Council hpuses had sensible affordable rents that allowed people to save and move on. Taht is until they were stupidly removed for political dogma. Now IMO the need is for small cheaper (I dislike the term affordable housing as all houses are affordable to somebody) houses young people just starting out can afford.

I agree. Somehow modern society has moved to a situation where you think you must be able to afford and buy a property. Wonderful if you can, however when I was young renting was the norm, three quarters of the village was council housing. Only the well off owned or had aspirations to own a house. A certain female prime minister destroyed the rental stock and gave everybody aspirations that many had/have no chance of fulfilling.

That has nothing to do with keeping up with charging the batteries. In fact, it also seems a little sexist I and many men I know do the vacuuming. I do it as I do a better job than Mrs J.

This made me wonder as I have no experience of these things. So I googled and found: A traditional, standard vacuum uses around 1.4kWh of power per hour; the humble robot charges on about 60-90 watts (over three hours), with one charge fuelling roughly an hour of cleaning.

The point is there is no shortage of large houses for those who can afford them, what is needed are houses within the price range of people looking to start on the property ladder. Most are single or young couples. I suspect you would have a long search for a family of 6 still living with parents as they haven't been able to start on the property ladder. Large detached houses do not solve the housing crisis for those who most need houses.

I would suggest not the near zero rate of building new homes but the near zero rate of building homes of the right type. Everywhere I go Ii see masses of new houses being built, however, they are mainly large detached expensive homes.
