JDFrain 1 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Fantastic countryside all over the place, very happy to live here. I think it all depends on how you want to live your life if you can keep it pretty basic it can be very fruitfull, As Gordon Brown says we should be more prudent...

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Honestly .... what IS it with you lot???? Everybody in this country thinks the grass is greener somewhere else. It's NOT, trust me. I'm Canadian Frosty. Been here five years now. There's good and bad no matter where you live. England has beautiful countryside. And Scotland is gorgeous, lovely people lovely countryside. The UK is a good place to set off for travelling if you fancy seeing Europe. People here are more relaxed (though you might not know it for some of the replies so far). I find life here much easier than I did back home. It's not so cold either. People here have a great sense of humour - imagine saying it's cold when the temp is 11 degrees? It snows one cm and folks panic, schools shut and nobody goes to work. The tax system is wacked tho. Some things are really expensive, some not. Politics here are amusing, to be polite. Big downer for me: rampant racism and intolerance to people from other places - especially if they are a different colour or speak a different language, never mind if they're nice folks or hard working. Not saying everyone is like that but a lot are. I tend to get very fed up with it and end up telling quite a few people what I think of their assbackwards ideas. I say take some time out, travel over, see a few places. If you fancy it, give it a go. Don't listen to the naysayers - some people are bitter till they find out life is what you make it, not where you live it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 lurchergrrl,your'e telling me you swapped canada for lancashire :wacko: and youve been over here for five years,without being recaptured :11: Yep, I swapped living in a crowded, polluted city populated by over 4 million people for the quiet bliss of Burnley I like it here - not really in Burnley, but England in general, tho I'd rather be in Scotland. There's things I miss about home, don't get me wrong, but over all I'm happy here. Besides, it's hard to find a decent lurcher in Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
