France is a great country,you can breath,lots of affordable gites etc,I spent a chunk of this year in spain,its got problems,I think somewhere further afield for me long term,cant take the shit-pile the politicians are turning this country into,benefit-tourism takes the f*cking biscuit,the idea of my kids growing up in this is seriously a big no-no,imagine 10-15 years down the line?We are not exactly going to be 3'rd world but we sure as hell will have slipped further down the ratings.
