If you have an accident, it won't be a private ambulance that picks you up, or private A&E
Education - Grand children private schools If and when Uni -that will be paid for - guess by then no "state" help will be in place
Except that private schools are registered charities, and have various tax exemptions supporting them, thus depriving everyone else of tax revenue
Bus pass - do not have one.
Most bus services have public subsidies, especially in outlying areas
Social services- not used
Library- not used since Kindle came on the market
But you did use it previously
Fly first class - so pay extra tax for that. Just to have a better seat !!! On top of paying tax on what I earn.
State pension - will not claimed when of age. The less I appear on "state radar" the happier I am.
Tax paid at highest rate. In France ,USA & UK. Money earned in each country stays in that country.
As far as "pay back" is concerned I lose. So please take it personally when I moan about Welfare , NHS or the government giving my money to countries that send up rockets but their people starve. and the reason despite not being happy about the man Mitt Romney will get my vote.

As Scotland only costs "me" money - GOOD BYE & good luck
