Nothing against the beauty of much of the UK, but would you rather live in READING in order to shop at the Costco there? I think that if the good Lord was going to give the world an enema, he'd consider inserting the syringe in Reading! I say that because on three separate occasions, when parking in the Railway parking lot there, my rental car was broken into twice and damaged by a hit n' run driver another time. IMHO, Reading is a pit! Tony Blair could give me a house there and I'd refuse it!
As far as Costco differences that would engender sadness over living in the U.S... ???
