Motorcycle heaven...

Wide, smooth, roads sweeping through the forest, leading to wide, smooth, roads sweeping through the fields, with not a hedge in sight, and a rather cheeky hump backed bridge. All enjoyed in a country three times the size of England, with only as many cars a London.

Partly the reasons mentioned in the original post! Other partly because of the good NHS, good schools (there are only a handful of private schools here, the state schooling is so good) and I bought 4 acres of land for £3000!

And they make some great movies here....

what about the tax though?

and the general high cost of living (even compared to the UK)

Have to agree with the roads though, loverly.

Not so. It actually works out about the same. Some things more expensive, others cheaper.
What's your biggest single monthly outgoing? Rent or mortgage, I'll bet. Property here is dirt cheap - so I'm better off than I was in England (ie no mortgage).

The only hideously expensive thing is spirits, but it's not that hard to find someone with a home made still to make vodka!
