Why on earth is this country so expensive?

Yeah, the UK is great. No money for a cab to get home after a boozy night? Go have a kebab and have your lights knocked out after getting in an argument with some random stag do. It works well if you live near a hospital.

It's not even that. I have a paramedic friend who has a regular 'client' that phones the 999 Ambulance service and self-discharges from A&E because he lives round the corner.

All the Ambulance drivers and medics know who he is but they are powerless not to respond to an emergency call!
