That would be the Council tax, which includes water rates for running water, sewage, etc., which every household has to pay whether rented or owned. For this the Local Council will provide street lighting, road maintainance, refuse and recycling collection and free bins/food pails, environmental health, fire and police, schools, libraries, air/sea/mountain rescue, payments to some charities and local organisations that provide a service considered essential or important for the community such as day centres for disabled adults, community activities for able and disabled children, social work services, buses, and so on. We are more used to the rain I suppose; if you don't go out in the rain you'd be housebound! I have never owned a brolly and when I cycle I take waterproofs if I'm going more than local.

Cooo, it doesn’t sound like you love Scotland much… a few wee comment from someone who is a scot and lives in Scotland. It does not rain everyday. “All” food is not deep fried, only stuff you buy in a fish and chip shop, because deep fryers is all they have. The “extra tax because you rent” is the tax everybody pays for their public services like garbage collection, road maintenance etc etc. even home owners pay it. The tax is billed to every inhabited property. Dunblane may indeed have been the “last” school shooting here, but it was also the first and only school shooting here… a small point maybe, but an important one. Oh,and dunblane isn’t just outside Edinburgh…. Although, to be fair, it might be from the POV of an American.. it’s a little over an hour away and a Scot wouldn’t describe that as “just outside” Stirling

Their anesthetic didn't work on me because of the anxiety meds I take. I had good luck with the first surgery but not the second. I got edema in my eye, have dark rim on the outside and lights flashing. It had been 2 months since the second one. I am seeing a new eye dr. I found out I have Fuch's Dystrophy in the bad eye and will probably need it lasered to get scar tissue off the lense. Fuch's Dystrophy can lead to a retina replacement.

I did and I didn't. It was pleasantly windy most of the time. So no midges. But if it stopped being windy - out they came. They love the evening twilight hour. Just as I was going to settle down for the night, would go outside to sit with a glass of wine ... and ... then clouds of midges would descend. I had skin so soft and midge spray - and a midge hat that went over the face. But impossible to eat or drink outside obviously. And they get everywhere - so opening the car door to get away from them was a challenge. They are so so tiny and travel in groups of millions x

I'm 57 years young and I recently had cataract surgery done. I had the dropless cataract surgery done and I chose a monofocal lens set for distance implanted in my eyes. No regrets and my sight is just fine. Just need glasses to read small/fine print. In my opinion a healthy dialogue with your eye doctor is paramount and educate yourself before you choose a proper lens for your eyes. Be aware that a relatively healthy eye is required for best results regardless of the lens you choose. Anyway, thank you for the video. It is appreciated. Take care and stay well and good luck to everyone.
