Today - overcast and rainy but still around 20C
Last week - bright, sunny, hot, high 20s

I'm still sitting in shorts & T shirt and dipping in the pool regularly (TMI possibly)

No idea about the real winter months of Dec-Feb though, this is the first time I've been here outside June-Aug period.

Portugal. Civilised, warm & sunny (down South at least), good infrastructure. Close enough to get back to the UK very easily. I'm here on a working holiday at the moment, I don't miss the UK one bit.

you have to use long words occasionally!

Very occasionally .... although I'm not sure fandabiedozie is as respected a long word as it should be!

My gf asked me what I do in my job to get a 6 figure salary, as all she can see is me sitting on my @rse all day talking crap in TEAMs meetings .... yeah, that's about it

France or NL for me - both fantastic, for different reasons. High tax & social contributions, but worth it all-round, I reckon.

Switzerland has a lot going for it - it's flag is a big plus.

Yip ... Zurich gets my vote. Class place.

Fun fact. Iodine tablets only work in protecting you against radioactive iodine - not radiation in general. Nuclear explosions, unlike power plant leaks, don't produce much radioactive iodine.

Correct

For general radiation reduction one must use RadAway ideally with Rad Absorption perk

Speak for yourself, I'm in the lower half of moderately skilled.

Oddly enough I knew that.

Now, may I innerest you in some Cobalt Thorium G?

Looking on the bright side, being the age I am I've got a fair amount of Strontium 90 in my bones from all those nice atmospheric tests back in the day

I'm guessing this has something to do with the forthcoming tax hikes and how it's legalised theft, so why not move to the UAE or one of the miserable islands off Great Britain and be done with it?

Legalised theft is by definition a contradiction. But yes you run off you the Arabian paradise.
