I was offered a job in Dallas,Texas a couple of years ago but Mrs. didn't want to be too far away from her Mum and Dad so I very reluctantly turned it down.

Many relatives and friends went to live in the USA. All of them became very successful.
Two friends who were licensed real-estate agents lost a lot of money and after 15 years have come back to the UK.

It always amazes me to see how many people around the world are brainwashed by this land-of-the-free stuff, even after the economic events of the past decade. Kudos to Hollywood, the greatest advertising machine ever invented.

CA didn't seem to be showing signs of falling apart to me. It has an oil industry and is the worldwide centre for medical innovation - not to mention all the creative stuff, the vineyards, huge areas of incredible agricultural fertility, tourism, education, ...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment
