They never saw this coming....

I'm not. I've worked abroad and it was nice and all that, but I prefer living in England.

I know what you mean, when I worked in the U.S and then Switzerland it made me miss being in the UK.

The main destinations are obviously Australia, NZ, Canada and USA.

.

Most of those share similar problems with the UK.
I would say Switzerland or Germany (poor weather but at least you got the skiing) and Singapore.
But the easy option if you want to downsize and have a nice simple life is closer to home: rural France.

The US is a ticking time bomb.

So a bit like Bradford then?

But not that bad

Malta looks attractive.

English Speaking, Mediteranean climate, easy air travel to the rest of Europe, thriving finanance and online betting industry, good quality of life and they dont hate the British.

I know what you mean - if you have a comfy lifestyle in a leafy area, England is up there with the best places.
But then you're ignoring what's happening in general, overcrowding on the roads, falling standards everywhere, poor public education, a growing and increasingly feral underclass.

Interesting choice.

But isn't it now flooded with African boat people?

The US is a ticking time bomb.

Unlike your good self, the majority have to work and want to swap poor pay, tiny homes, massive tax take, poor public services and generally grey weather for something much better.

Australia is mega booming+++

Seriously thinking about it.

They're only worried about the talented folk leaving, you'd be doing the country a service by getting out.

Like is good here for the moment but I don't like the general attitude to education.

Look, it's not the Tories' fault you still can't pass your A-levels.
