    Unfortunately, we are not the fifth richest country, as it depends on how you measure it :D But that said we are not a poor country, but we do have great wealth disparity.

    There is such a huge wealth gap between the richest and the poorest. Why somone needs to be worth billions is beyond me (even millions). I remember a story being passed around (might not be fully true) - the footballer Sade Mane (used to play for Liverpool) was spotted with a broken mobile phone. He was asked why he didn't have a brand new one, and the most expensive one at that. His reply was "I don't need a Ferrari, 5 houses, a watch or phone worth thousands when there are people in my country needing basic education and healthcare." He spends his wealth in his home country paying for thousands to go to school and have health care.

    He is a shining example. I clapped him every time he came on against utd. A truly grounded person!

    He opened a hospital costing $400,000, which he had funded, in his village during this year's summer break . Fantastic person - shame he had to leave Liverpool FC

    Forecast is for a cold dry winter and flooding in Feb :confused:
    I'm waiting for all that ice-melted cold fresh water stalling the "Atlantic Conveyor" and giving us a winter like the famous one in 1814 ....... and 1963 o_O
