If you had the money would you leave England

LOAM · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:42

No. I would buy abroad though and see the world but I would miss a good old blighty winter and Dickens Xmas

[TW]Fox · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:44

Yes, I would.

shifty_uk · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:45

110% yes. I don't like the culture, population, work ethics and I loathe the lifestyle.

I'd love somewhere that was very quiet, laid back, surrounded by beautiful scenery and most importantly more to do than going on the 'lash' every weekend. Which it appears 90% of our society believes is the be all and end all of enjoyment.

^TANK^ · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:47

I would leave in a heart beat.

Tripnologist · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:48

I'd move back to Canada in a heartbeat, though I would keep a house here also.

buchtis · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:49

Yes.

AU or NZ or Canada.

Probably live on my own yacht sailing round the carribean, can you live on a boat for extended times? e.g. for like a year?

britboy4321 · 25 Aug 2011 at 23:57

Where ? Just out of interest ?

What is your dream lifestyle?

Mine I hear you ask ......

Either Gilli Islands Indonesia as dive master , back in Darwin Australia or Taiwan western side of the island in the countryside in peace

Realistically I'll settle for a holiday once a year to any of the above places

Yes you can one of my friends sailed across the globe over 18 months slowly but basically on yacht. Was very jealous at the time not so sure now

I only have small 1-bed house, but I would still keep it if I was minted. I would carry on working too simply because I get on so well with colleagues and they're very much part of my social life, going out for lunch, after work etc. I'm very much a water person too, so I would consider a houseboat and live on the canals a bit.

MissChief · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:09

I don't live in England.

now if you asked would I live there if it meant winning the Euro millions, yes I would, but then I'd probably spend most of my time on my private caribbean island anyway.

Gaijin · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:22

I don't have the money and yet I'm still leaving England.

England will always be my home, but there's too much wrong with it and so much more for me elsewhere.

Even if I'm wrong - it will be different, and thats enough for me to go.

Glaucus · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:26

Ask me that 4 weeks ago, I would have said no. know I would love to spend a few years in WA.

EdwardTeach · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:27

I would move to Vancouver, though would likely come back to uk several times a year.

Cosimo · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:27

I'd leave a pad here and move to the continent.

Castiel · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:28

No. I love living in Britain.

Nemesis379 · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:33

Yes, probably to California or somewhere.

Rich_L · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:40

I would defintiely go back to the UK more often if money allowed, nice as it is out here there are some things which are priceless about living where you are from, like not being asked if you are an Australian a dozen times a day.

EdGey · 26 Aug 2011 at 00:42

My home would be in the UK, and it's where I would live. But I would have properties in various other countries.
