Is it too late to turn the uk around?

[Rememberwheneveryoneusedtosaywhatssssup]

Is it too far gone now?

You want Scotland in the South and Cornwall in the North? Yes, it's many millennia too late.

I am around the same age as you, but I think you remember things with your rose tinted glasses. I hadn’t been abroad before I was 12 and it certainly wasn’t common to have 2 -3 holidays a year unless your family was very affluent of course.
I also view especially the 90s with a sort of nostalgia, but I also think it was because I was actually young and not in my 50s like I am now and had a great time.

We do have an abundance of rain, but we are not saving enough of it as we haven’t built any new reservoirs in over three decades, but the UK population has increased and our water consumption has increased significantly.

Our aging leaky pipes are something which are more of a significant problem tbh.

Then you probably need to get off SM.
Because in the real world, the vast majority of people aren't planning on leaving the UK.
We have concerns. Cost of living is high. Affordable housing is in short supply. Schools and the NHS leave much to be desired. It's tough times.
However, for most of us, our lives, homes, families and jobs are here. Very few of us have the sort of skill set that would be snapped up 'somewhere better' fewer of us still know any language other than our own.
So in the main, here we will stay, plodding on, complaining from our armchairs about what should change. Just as we've always done.

Definitely a major concern!! We have a lot of Victorian infrastructure still in use. Another hugh concern is how AI uses a massive amount of water.

Meant to say huge in the post above!!!

That's exactly the small minded, pessimistic thinking that is holding this country back. It's like we're afraid of big infrastructure projects.

I propose putting the whole thing on a giant lazy Susan so we constantly slowly rotate. It would be a boon to the tourism industry and confuse our enemies.

Nope, not affluent at all. We lived in a council house which was bought under the Right to Buy scheme. There were 3 teens still living at home, but old enough to be left, so my mom and dad would indeed holiday in Italy and Majorca 2 or 3 times per year. My mom was a part time cleaner so we were not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.

The best suggestions I’ve seen for a long time!!

But how would the planes land? You'd have to cut out a bit - say Birmingham for example - that remained still whilst the rest of the country rotated around it.

It would make it easier because you could in theory ensure the countries runways were lined up with the wind. Also it would be rotating quite slowly as a rule so shouldn't make it that much harder to land I imagine. I guess Birmingham would be spinning less fast than saying Cornwall though.
