On the other hand .... I have sampled life in many other countries and the one feature common to them all is a few Brits pining for the home country. OK, so they often express this emotion in a negative, critical and derogatory way and speak at length about the wonderful features of their new home. This serves to reassure them that they made the right decision to emigrate in the first place. But, under the surface, something is missing, and life in their new home makes many realise just what a fabulous place Britain is. What we have here is great people, great places, great variety, great history, great access to everything, stability, honesty, predictability, reliability .... Its sad that many Brits don't see this, or appreciate it, but in all honesty there is no other place in the world that can offer all of these things. Sure, some places do some of those things far better than Britain. But nowhere does it all. Just ask the millions of people who want to come and live in Britain. They know a good thing when they see one. Each to their own, but I love it here and have no desire to live any where else.  RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

OK Super, I guess we don't quite see eye to eye on this one. Although I suggest you might want to remain just a tad more open minded to some of the good things, people and places in your homeland.

St know where your coming from but have to agree with Smaticus. Lived in many countries, some good, some bad, but they ALL have their own problems. Having recently moved back here - love the place - although i am living in Devon so away from the big town hectic life. Can honestly say I would not live any where else.....................................at the moment !!

With my job I can live anywhere in the world I choose and the company pays the flights to get there and back from the ship. I choose to live in the UK because it is such a pleasant and generally tolerant place with no extremes of weather, even if it does seem to rain a lot, at least it doesn't get unbearably cold or unbearably hot and we don't get too many hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones/ whirlwinds! We don't have to bribe corrupt officials to get things done, we have excellent things like the NHS (even though it isn't as good as it used to be) that 99% of the rest of the world is still envious of. The UK suits me fine, despite all the faults 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
