Maybe it is because so many have left, and find themselves happier, hence the population left behind becomes gradually unhappier?Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

It seems that there a very few who move abroad, don't like it and move back to blighty. I think the people on our little Island have just been forced into giving up too many freedoms and are looking for a place that reminds them of the UK 20 years agoOriginally posted by threadedComment

Cyprus is like the UK 20 ago and they drive on the left... if only the house prices were like 20 years agoOriginally posted by John Galt
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I think the problem with the UK is much the same as when you go on holiday with someone for the first time. You need your own space after a few days.
Everyone's living on top of each other, daily hassle commuting, and only the pub to get away from it all. Or CUK forums for those of us with the geek-factor."If it floats, flies, or f***s, lease it." - Evel Knievel when he wasn't jumping buses or womenComment

Yeah, as if changing geographic location can make you happier. It doesn't. Its a falacy. Unless you are being persecuted or for health reasons - but those are intrinsic reasons. not material or "grass is greener on the other side" reasons.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

True, but the green stuff seems to be smaller these days. Maybe it's like how things appear larger now we're all grown up (or should I say adults) but really they've always been like that.Originally posted by Euro-commuterThat's not the UK, just the bits of it where all the people live
But then again, even the protected country parks are under threat of road building so it's only a matter of time before there's a Tescos on it.
Fact is this island is too small for everyone that wants to live here. There's still immigrants waiting at Calaise for Sangatte II to be built, dreaming of getting into the UK. I don't know what tulipe our tourist board are saying over there but it must be good. Many people in the UK want to move to the continent and there's hordes of people wanting to the the opposite. Can't all be down to benefit scrounging and false hope/dreams can it? Isn't there any work for them in the rest of Europe that pays minimum wage, which is what many will be lucky to get here?"If it floats, flies, or f***s, lease it." - Evel Knievel when he wasn't jumping buses or womenComment
