I was chatting to some other ex pats about Britain and if they would return.

Not one of us could find a good reason as to why we would want to return.

Some could on peeps, what reasons are there to stay / return to Britain ?

Yep, France, and what a great country it is. Friendly people, nice food, great health care, great public transport, plenty of room.

Sorry mate, every time I've been there all of the above were difficult to find except the food, maybe. As for friendly people, well you must live in a different part to I've been to !

If you love it there fine, but I'm with Wolfie, I'm English but also live in a great part of the world which ticks all your boxes as well.

Every country has good bits and bad bits so I'm afraid saying France is great and has no problems tells me you've been ASSIMILATED !!!

I'm not saying France doesn't have it's problems, I would be a tad naive.

All I am trying to say is that there are very little problems where I live in Bourgogne - sod living in the cities though

I'm thankful for growing up in England and being educated there but would never return. The relative lack of people in NZ, benevolent climate, optimism and friendliness of the people makes it hard to beat. And amazingly, a relative lack of bureaucracy from those in authority!

Two things absolutely f*ck me off about this thread...

1. All you f*ckwits that bang about being english (note the small "e") like you're a human stick of rock....cut you open and it'll say "english till I die".
Get f*ckin real...you're a mongrel race made up of...among others ...the french, germans, scandinavians, romans, spanish...the list goes on.
If you showed up at Crufts you'd be shown the door, with a well placed Savil Row brogue up yer arse...

2. You f*ckin ex-pats. If life's so f*ckin great abroad how come your always witterin on about it to us... If I'd won the Euromillions I wouldn't be sat on a f*ckin "wot I'd do if I won the lottery" forum I'd be off spending the dosh without a second glance.
Why don't you admit it, yer f*ckin homesick cos yer adoptive country doesn't have half the things that you miss about Britain and the f*ckin natives hate yer guts..

Rant over.

Scot...Brit...and f*ckin proud to still be here in Great Britain.

I happen to like the Union Jack...the rest of you so-called nationalistic twats can go f*ck yerselves.

Would not want to live anywhere else (apart from Norway maybe) great country. Great countryside, great people and great weather - well gives us all something to talk to each other about every day.

France is ok nice way of life would be great if they could speak English and not foreign.8rfl@

In general I still like living here apart from the winters, the fact that daft sods keep on voting labour in ( and then same daft sods have the audacity to whinge like feck when conservatives get in and have to impose austerity measures to dig up out of the hole labour left us in ), the roads, the lack of space due to foreign imports..



Oh.... errr.... welllll...



No seriously, it aint a bad place to live but given the choice nowadays I think I would prefer to be elsewhere

If I could have my choice it would proly be NZ

England must be OK, otherwise I would live somewhere else. i have a choice and I choose here. Speaks volumes. But it's all relative. I live in a nice bit. If you live in a shit bit your view may differ.

Were Labour also running several other European countries in at least as much shit as us or might there be something else going on?
