Yes eastern europe has to be a good choice for the more adventurous youngsters amongst us. Pretty towns with pretty girls. Sounds like a welcome change from 90% of the UK.

Yep - agree on all fronts. HyperD's plan B involves property in an area I know is going to have a major airport within the next 5 years... mmmm. Problem is, I don't have a stack load of cash - gearing too high - and not prepared to sell out of UK right now due to direct clients.

Dreary Cities

Ok ok, just sometimes some of Stalins post war creations seem to be a bit forbidding. Not that british post war housing solutions where much better, come to think of it

I havent been to Sofia, and I have to admit even parts of Warsaw are nice, Prague is great too but same deal once you get out in some districts Praha 5 etc

Ok so I was worng about dreary buildings. What about the other aspects?

Sunnysan,

you are indeed correct, and therein lies the problem, there is just no alternative to living in the UK.

Europe - yuck.

Milan.

Oz/Nz
Pros: Good weather, great lifestyle, less cultural/langauge hurdles, great beaches/mountains, fair job markets.
Cons : Very far away.

Very nice summary Sunnysan, I would add, for Oz/NZ: fair job markets yes but low wages. So basically you need to have already made (most of) your money before you get there. Suppose it's the same with eastern europe.

Rebecca, I hope you proudly fly the Union Jack when you return home with all the money you have extorted out of the UK and buy your little bit of New Zealand.

After all, the money should have been given to Gordon, in all "fairness".

[Rebecca Loos]

Yes I will fly it, actually it constitutes about 1/4 of the whole flag I will be flying! Might add some red stars in the other 75% or something, just to make it look nicer

Actually in a way GB is investing in a bit of NZ through me - that's a nice way of looking at it. Evasion? Avoidance? No! Just "investment offshoring" really, in the same mould as the offshore outsourcing that UK companies get up to.

Face facts. You boys have been moaning about how bad your like in the UK is for years. If you haven’t left yet, you’re not going to.

Your passion is the British passion – moaning about your life. Britain is the best place in the world for you to indulge in this passion. Although I suppose you could argue that the internet has made it possible for people to moan about life in the UK without actually being here (Milan being a classic example). It’s a sort of tele-moaning.
