You are stranded on an island with 6 others from different parts of the world and with different religions, customs and cultural heitage.

What 5 basic values would you want to see and expect your fellow islanders to uphold?

To fairly share the food and fresh water available.
To share the work and help those weaker/less capable than yourself.
To be kind to each other and look out for each other
To respect each others views/beliefs (hopefully we are able to communicate)
To never give up hope of being rescued. although as a complete pessimist I probably wouldn't believe it myself

ha ha Gilly it might be nicer to stay on the island!

I like your list..we should pass them on to the Home Office to be used as the values we want in Britain grin

If it's a warm island Penstemmon I would definitely be tempted. smile

Yes definitly warm and I think we could have a translator machine so we could all understand each other...or maybe it is better to let actions speak louder than words!

Can I come to live on your island?

Get behind me Vampirequeen grin

The language thing will be fine Penstemmon we will all just speak slower and a lot louder, and wave our hands around.
