I warn you not to come here. Everything is so expensive, we get completely screwed. I do like a lot of the things about it, but sometimes I really think its not worth staying here for them and have you seen what we pay for petrol? There are going to be even fewer jobs here in the future as all industrial work is going down the pot to places like the far east (I should know, I live in ex-industrial Sheffield) and without that there can be little progress, even on research side. The welfare state is gradually being broken down and it seems we just seem to accept things the way they are, we don't even see any benefits of the extra tax we pay because it is used inefficiently. It makes me sad and and after uni I'm going to get out of here to canada or somewhere, this place is crowded enough as it is without more people coming. |

Hmmm.... opposite for me... after college, or maybe during college, I'm going over there, FROM Canada. Maybe just for a visit... but maybe for good, if I like it. |

You sound very unhappy, pehaps it is time to change you life. May I suggest going to Wakefield in Yorkshire. The girls wear next to nothing even in the dead of winter!!! |

Good luck affording it :/ |

Wakefield is very close, the girls are the same =) And I am unhappy, because things could be so much better. |

I have to agree with B3n, I really dislike the "overcrowded-ness" of Britain particularly the big cities. To an outsider it may appear cosmoplitan and vibrant, but it becomes physically tireing when you have to dodge in and out of people just to go shopping. I absolutley hate Cardiff city centre when there's a match on. Oh yes, and our public transport is the worst I've ever used. France and Spain (supposedly more "relaxed" less efficient countries) have much better transport systems. |

I moved to Canada because the population is less dence. But the road system is awful. It is like the M25 every morning here, practically on every main road. |
||||||||
|

But is the standard of living generally better? |

There are good and bad areas of anywhere i suppose, but i agree about the welfare state, transport etc.. I can't understand how nearly every other country can run a decent train service, health service, and give good customer service, and we can't. I've got bloody toothache and they told me they could fit me in TWO WEEKS! And i've just got back from London where no-one will look at each other let alone talk to each other. It took four attempts to ask for directions without people running the other way.. or maybe i just look like a damn wierdo... .. i'm rambling, sorry, i'm off to attach a heavy weight to my tooth and throw it out of the window... |

I don't want to live in the city, I want to live in some vast countryside in England. One of those hilly places. I have a bit of an obsession with countrysides. |

Try Dungeness, it's honestly my favorite place. The bleakest place i've seen... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I live in an ideal place, right on the very edge of the city. A ten minute walk and I'm right in the countryside. I love that. |

dont forget than living in spain assures you 80 % of sunny days... and we are not third world as many of you could think |
||||||||

I just think there's got to be something better than this. |

I love rain. I love being inside and hearing the sound of it. I leave my window open at night. |

well then your paradise might be the amazon... lol |

England is pretty ideal! lol, though to be honest, its just 'wet' a lot, which I dislike. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate the sun (my complexion hates it, too... ). Sorry, Nacmat... I wouldn't like Spain and it's 80% sunny days. Though I hear it's a beautiful place, and DEFINITELY not third world! Anywhere where it rains a lot, with lots of fog and cloudy, wet days, that's where I want to be. |

Add grey to that list Ophecks and you have Sheffield...I even heard Autechre complaining about it! |

Make up yer mind B3n! I know what you mean about the jobs... Tetbury is 5 minutes from Malmesbury, where Dyson is based. You've seen it on the news... 800 jobs lost, some are my friends, just coz the Dyson Vacuum cleaners are gonna be made in the east! But, England is the BEST! I love it here in the Cotswolds! Sounds like you've gotta move dude... |

Yeah, it sucks but there are some redeeming features, whether they'll be enough to make me stay, who knows. |

I really agree with the point Ceri made about overcrowding. Some people in London walk in a really erratic fashion and it seems that they are trying to mow other people down. And there are too many fucking Starbucks and McDonalds in the City. |
||||||||

Things could be worse - you could live in Ireland, where it's even more expensive, and the weather and native food is even more pathetic. |

3/4 Starbucks in Cardiff (Capital of my Country) City centre (2 miles square) What the HELL? Fact: Cardiff has more Pubs and Fast food outlets per/ft than anywhere else in the UK. As We in Britain are the third biggest beer drinkers and also one of the most densley populated it would not be unreasonable to suggest that the above statement applies to the world and not just the UK! |

England is like the only place on earth that gets more percipitation then Newfoundland I think... :) seriously though, I just want to get outta Newfoundland... I'm so sick of this place... ANYWHERE!!!! I'd love to go to Europe and soke up some of the vibe over there... seems like a really cool place... |

Ophecks you should be in Scotland if you like rain and crappy weather! Seriously though, the UK is shit. My girlfriend moved here from Ontario and she dont like it either! :) |

I was born in the UK, but I've lived in the States ever since I was one. Somehow the fact that so much good electronic music comes from there draws me back, at least for a visit. |

At least you don't have to live in Eastern-Europe or even poorer countries. Hehe I used to live in Budapest, I wanted to go to Colorado, because my sister is there. I got here (Toronto). Not bad, but I prefer the suburban life and sunny weather of Denver. |
||||||||
|
|

I visited Budapest couple years back, the food was absolutely excellent (I *love* well made goulash) and it was so much cheaper than england. It seemed a bit run down in places, but it added to its appeal, I'd love to get an apartment there when I'm older. Oh yeah, and those dark hungarian girls are really attractive =) |
