    So you must be the Queen (Antoinette) and they must be those breadless peasants.

    :D:D

    Well done on another wind up hoijane/Gem78, however I am going to request this thread disappears so people with genuine issues can have their say.

    No doubt you'll be back with another identity though...

    because i consider a domestic holiday a necessity and an abroad holiday a luxury. i never said or implied "a holiday does not count unless its abroad" but others rather pathetically try to keep shoving these words in my mouth.

    i was pointing out that they dont have luxurys.

    Again - you have a strange idea of the necessities of life! Definitely "First World" poverty when a holiday is a necessity!

    Its not my definition, its the governments. If you cant afford a domestic holiday every year then you are living in poverty. You just sound like a bitter poor person.

    To anyone interested I have now resolved this, will reply to the non abusive PMs of people that were interested, too many rude unwelcoming people here.
