Yes I've read this many times from french expatriate web pages.Originally posted by SueEllen View Post@rodney there are plenty of French nationals in London. Worked with a few who stated theywill never return to France whilst working.
I think I'll be in the same case.
Half of my family commes from northern Ireland, near Belfast, and the other half commes from Hungary, and I could have the British nationality at 18.
I never knew what was my strongest influence, was it to live in France, or was it to be educated by a British/Hungarian family ? but I'm not supprised that I'm going to UK now, since I've never agreed to adapt myself to the French system. (fired from public school, never agreed to get an engineer degree because they are all obsessed they're degree, and as a contractor saying what I think to the great engineer when the project has gone straigth into the wall and they want me to act as a scapegoat.)
( In fact the truth is that French guys put me into a boat and said "go, we don't want to see you anymore, go to UK, live us alone" ...)
