Pierre, we'll have to agree to disagree. Personally, I love London and love the life style & opportunities it's given me.
Agere to disagree? what are you? a pooftah? what's wrong with a good ol' punch up for christ sake!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I love the cosmopolitan thing and all, I just hate the way it is managed (or not, rather)

Story goes like that. It's this guy, a caribbean fisherman, in the carribeans. He goes fishing when he feels like it, eats what he fishes, takes people fishing when he goes himself, takes tips a bit, sells what he has extra a bit...
One day he takes this american businessman in his boat for a fishing day. They get chatting, then the yank says, I tell you what man, you've got something going for you here! I mean, imagine, you're a god damn good fisherman, so you could get a bigger boat, catch more fishes, sell more, make more profits, buy a second boat, employ people, make even more money, then buy an entire fleet... by then you'll have to not go fishing anymore to take care of business of course, but imagine the money buddy!!! You'll have to travel all over the world to make deals, create your own brand to not get ripped off, have your tin factory... I mean, yes you'll have to make sacrifices and see your wife and kids less, but the money buddy, the money, you'll swim in it!!! Of course you won't have much of spare time, but you can always come back here a week per year for vacation, and just chill and do what you like doing, like going fishing... Well what do you say buddy?8l1nd

I get your drift, but I'm only just 40 FFS. Take us of London now and it's like taking that fisherman out of the carribean - We'd be lost & our choices would be limited (I know from personal experience). We ain't quite ready for the fishing rod, walking the dog life, etc, etc, etc style of life yet.
London is our sea & we love it. When we think the time is right, we'll be living a different life either in Spain or elsewhere, but for now I'll put up with minor inconveniences, 'cos for ME, the advantages far outweigh them :bow:
