of course, it depends where in the UK you live.
London - one of the worst cities I've ever lived in
Manchester - in the top half of the draw, let down by the rain
Leafy southern counties - excellent, as long as you don't have to go into London too often
For comparison
Philadelphia - fantastic
Dallas Fort Worth - awful, nearly as bad as London
Barcelona - the best city in the world. Unparalleled for culture, climate and quality of life
Rome - the close second to Barcelona, just the traffic that lets it down
Paris - the only city worse than London
Capetown - great, except for the nagging fear of violence that accompanies any journey after 7pmComment

Working in UK is good but working in the Netherlands is better imho (if it wasn't for that *&*%* language they use!!!).Originally posted by BlasterBatesI've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

Double edged sword.
Chavs, crime, IR35, piss poor transport, control freak bosses are all things I never had to contend with abroad.
On the up side I get to spend time with friends and family, I get to ride my motorbike regularly, I understand the tax system (sort of), I understand the telly and you get a good range of excellent food (come on Franko).I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Definetely better than Holland. But if we only debate working conditions I think that the system is similar to the US. Too much work-oriented with hectic and stressful environments and lots of politics too (this is different from the US and probably what gives US an edge) but the money is nice.Originally posted by The Lone GunmanI've seen much of the rest of the world.

Britain is great apart from:
Rain
Drought
Crime
Blair
Brown
Taxes
Public Services
Chavs
Illegals
Nannying
Red Tape
IR35
Big Brother
Speed Cameras
Long Hours
No Sunshine
tulip Bosses
Traffic Congestion
House Prices (unless you own 1 or 2 of course
)
Cost of Gas, Electricity, Water, Petrol...
Education Standards
NHS
If you ignore all that, nothing comes close.

Was it sarcastic? What's so good about Philadelphia apart from running up all the stairs to the Art museum shouting Adriaaaaaaaaannnnn?Originally posted by XLMonkeyI've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment
