To emigrate, or just move down South...

And god women over there have been running the "free the nipple" campaign all summer going topless in the public baths and the parks in the cities

Even the MPs have been posing topless online in support!

You wont see that in Harlow!
 
Also just discovered this fact

the average age of Icelanders to start having sex is the lowest in the world and that the highest percentage owns sex toys and are most likely to bring them to bed with their partner

Iceland is a stunning country for sure. I imagine that living there is a little different to visiting on holiday though. The built up areas are relatively few and small, and there's vast amounts of wilderness elsewhere. It is an awesome chance to get out and explore but if you're not into the country (it sounds like you very much are though) then I think it could become a little claustrophobic after a while.

But I'm just trying to add some balance. It would be an amazing experience and if I was in your position I'd bite their arm off and stick two fingers up at Harlow as I flew over it on the way to Reykjavik.
 
As previously mentioned, Harlow is a cesspit, it will make you wish you never left Newcastle.

If you have no dependants then you should go to Iceland without a doubt.
 
if you don't go to Iceland I will find you and punch you in the kidneys!

seriously though, Iceland for the win. I wouldn't even give it a second thought if the opportunity came my way - I'd be gone! :D
 
The 'move down south' part of the thread titles sets off my trolling alarm (and indeed a few of the expected northern fish have been caught it seems). Harlow isn't representative of 'The South' and well known as not being that nice.

Having said that, if it's a serious question then go to Iceland. I moved abroad for 5 years and it was a great experience and gave me a good perspective on how good life can be in the UK as well.
 
haha well I guess I had already made my choice really but there was that niggle that I was just being blinded by the opportunity and there would be 20 comments like 'it's not as nice as it looks etc'

But nope...

I mean I wasn't intending to live in Harlow regardless, probably around 30 mins away but yes given how much I'd have wanted a chance like this I would no doubt regret it terribly if I didn't go for it.

Been married years, thought the world of my wife and gave everything to the relationship and she decided just before our holiday to South Korea in September that she wasn't happy - then we went as it was paid for, had a nice time but we got home and she left me.

So I felt like crap for a couple of months then decided to pick myself up and I feel lucky that this job was there at this time. It's the perfect new start for me!

I mean it's not 100% yet...like 99%. I need to visit, and they need to formally offer me it but it's seems certain. It was offered to someone else before I seen it and they dropped out due to family/kids. And they say on a technical level I'm comfortably ahead of him.
All i have to do is show my personality can fit into the new international team and that I'm friendly and sociable.

Every other person flown out has been offered a job and they are hiring 200+ people in the next 2-3 years.

I suppose I'm just trying not to get swept up in it - but truth be told i'm super excited about it! Maybe I should just embrace that.
As everyone says, worst case I want to come home after a few years and I do...so be it.

Just over 2 hours to Edinburgh direct and seen return flights for £108. I could be home in 5 hours!

@Em3bbs - Harlow is 300 miles further South than where I am. Not trolling, I genuinely have no idea what areas down there are like. There are some beautiful areas in the UK so for all I know there are nice places to live within 30 minute commute of the site. But of course it's still the UK, so if Im going to move then why not move somewhere unique as everyone is saying :)

lol - the job is in Harlow - but yes I'd heard it's not nice there so wasn't planning on living in Harlow. Somewhere more like Ware, or further up towards Royston and commute. Had no real idea would have had to scope the surrounding areas out to find out the nice vs bad areas.

But saying that...I live in Blyth Northumberland. I mean...can't get a whole lot worse than that for being dead end towns full of wasters.
