Well, we (at the moment) have a free public healthcare system and more welfare than the US. If you come here to work, whether your life will improve or not is irrelevant, as far as we're concerned. An immigrant is still and immigrant and we only have so much room, don't we? |

i have never been to wales, but im sure you are all fine people! in fact even when it comes to sport fans - rugby fans know their manners! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Nah, we're all wankers here. But you're right, no matter how brainless rugby fans are they aren't as bad as footie fans. |

Don't listen to these weirdos. London is very diverse, and we don't hate yanks. I bet all these anti americans are sitting there in levis and adidas anyway. |

i haven't been to england so i'm not sure what the cities are like, but glasgow and edinburgh are great! i wouldn't mind living in either of the places. |

How are you going to get a visa? |

They dont hand them out like smarties, you know... |

lol, that's very true they're not overly friendly with foreigners at the airport either, as soon as i arrived they sent me to see some doctor and took some x-rays |

If I get a job before I head over I think I'll be fine but definitly a good point... something I'll have to think about |

Leeds is a cool place, the problem with big cities in england is crime, but hey, it's probly no where near the level of places like NY or somewhere like that, it's all relative i guess. i've never been mugged or shot (touch wood!) |
||||||||

sorry! another point! compare the whole of the uk to one american state and it's still a smaller place, so if your used to travelling long distance the uk will feel tiny |

so do i, my best friend lives there, besides then i could go to all those warp, rephlex events! managed to catch one braindance brockup when i was there, oh how i wish i could experience that right now! listening to bilious paths and drinkin red wine really makes me wish i was at some electro do right now, my computer speakers are alright but nothing beats the sound of a club. spacecadet....try going to johannesburg for a day and see what crime is like in a bit city |

i've been toying with this idea m'self, actually. of course, i really don't have any skills, or anything, and no education beyond high school, so it'd be a bit difficult, i'm thinking. especially since in order to get a visa-thinger you have to have secured your job before you even enter the country. and i say boo to that. it'll be many years before i can make my way in there, probably. oh well. but best of luck, guy. =] |

fuck do what you want... england is a cool enough place... you'll free shitty health care and pay huge taxes... I wouldn't go for the money just a change of pace and culture ... so go for london... fuck i'll be there for a a few weeks this spring.. get ready fuckers |

Well, the English stereotype is that they sound like fags and are cold arrogant twats. You say, 'I don't sound like an arrogant gay twat' 'I'm warm'. Well, I never eat at mcDonalds, either. I'm not fat. I'm intelligent. I'm somewhat refined. Americans, don't go to Europe! They'll hate you before you open your mouth. American Prejudice is at it's peak there. And I guess you are lumping in the Canadians in with that cultural line up? Well, I think the Canadians hate us even more. They vomit bile in our laps. |

DON'T COME TO WARRINGTON. It has no redeeming qualities. |

hey somebody set this ignorant american straight. what is the difference between U.K. / England / Britain / Great Britain / and um... ok how does Scotland fit in to that shit? thanks. |

Leeds is the fastest growing city in the UK and rapidly becoming an important financial centre. Ireland should be avoided as it's EU funded boom has passed and times are getting harder there. |
||||||||
|

|

I can agree with that. When i went to Warrington to see Radiohead I discovered that my hotel was opposite a chemical factory and they turned the heating off at 1am. It's symbolic of the whole depressing town. |

British Isles = Great Britain + Ireland (literally the 2 islands) Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales (the island to the east) Ireland = the Republic of Ireland + Northern Ireland (the island to the west) United Kingdom = England + Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland |

Actually, you'd doubtless be locked up in a prison under our wonderful anti-terrorism law. If you are lucky enough to get out then you will be faced with complete cunts like tango. |

Good luck to you, but I fear you may struggle with the Visa thing.. As I understand it, sorting out visas for people is a lot of work and trouble - and most companies will avoid doing it if possible. Unless there is a really strong reason to hire you, rather than a british person with similar experience, they will probably pass you over because no one wants to do the necessary paperwork.. This happened to an American relative of mine about 10 years ago who wanted to work in London. He had a lot of banking experience and went to tonnes of interviews with London based banks, and most of them said they would like to hire him, but couldnt be bothered with paperwork as they could find a european with similar skills who would be easier to employ. Dont mean to be negative, I just wouldnt get too excited about the idea of living in another country until you are sure that the visa thing is ok... Do some real research. Good luck, although I wouldnt come to london if i were you - it may the best place in UK for culture, music etc, but it is absurdly expensive, weather is crap and people are miserable bastards. And the rest of the country is even worse. |

Fuck off ya cheeky cunt! Its not worse outside the M25. |

I'll definitly check into the Visa thing, and if I have the money will take a trip out the London and the rest of England in the spring or summer to check out the digs |

OK but be careful - the further north you go from London the more they seem to enjoy fighting and random acts of senseless voilence.. And it gets colder. And more rainy. |

I've never been to Europe, but if you enjoy that English weather I suggest moving to NY or Seattle. All the benifits of living in America, without all the stupid ignorant Americans, so its almost like living in another country. Plus, NYC is VERY DIVERSE and OPENMINDED. |

You'll need to pay £500 to get in BTW http://society.guardian.co.uk/asylumseekers/story/0,7991,11 02135,00.html |

what is birmingham like compared to other cities? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
That doesn't apply to EU members though right? |
||||||||
|
|

I'm not sure. I think you should be exempt if you're white. |
||||||||
|

I don't care (having dual nationality soon), I was just wondering for my girlfriend... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We don't have room for any more immigrants. Unless they are white of course. Is she white? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol yup |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great. In that case she won't be a drain on our NHS or be awarded a suitcase full of money, a new car and a detached house in a leafy suburb. |

how do they determine what race is one? |

Basically, as long as you aren't black, asian, a Muslim, arabic, Roma gypsy, not from eatern Europe, Kurdish...basically, if you're a WASP you're welcome, if you're not fug-eh-da-bout-it. |
||||||||
|

||||||||

everyone loves Canada... our main export is high selling crap female pop singers... you have Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morrisette, Nelly Furtado, etc, etc... |

or allow your towns to be swamped with crack houses and street robbery such as I am living in - or you could some lefty student wanker of which the only black face he's ever seen is of his grandad when he worked in the mines |

with people like you around it would have been an affront to consider arresting sajid badat under the same laws and no doubt you'd have done a victory dance once the first uk plane went down . i can picture the quotes from you now " hardly surprising since we helped dubbya to invade iraq " so please rant away from your comfortable vantage point or do us both a favour and ignore my posts and i'll return the favour |
||||||||

you should consider it - its a beautiful country and the people are friendly mostly |
||||||||
|
|

|

I have a friend living in Toronto actually, I've considered it... but I want to move to the UK for the music scene mostly, the job situation is better there and It'll be a lot more DIFFERENT than here I went to Ireland on tour with the orchestra, I know how much different Dublin and Cork are from here and I know London will be even more interesting. I need a change in lifestyle, in the way I think, Canada won't do that Lots of helpful info here guys, thanks a lot for the suggestions... I'm looking into a lot, I'll be able to afford the Visa if I can get it, and I think given my situation I can make that happen... looking pretty good right now |

Why would an American want to go live in Europe? Surrounded by cynics. Everyone hating you. Bad weather. Stay. They aren't as sophisticated as they'd like you to think. Make your own music scene. Do you plan on doing the Cornwall tour? Aphex hates stalkers. |
