Is it time to escape Britain?

[dizzyblonde]

my theory of Im Indoors plans to move to OZ or NZ........
I dont particularly fancy it...if he finishes uni with super duper mark I may consider it.
All grass is brown on the other unless I am totally convinced, too complicated for us a couple on the off, not married, don't live together in 4 years, my son not his etc.....
So, he can commit to buying a house here together first(obviously) I already own mine and we need bigger accomodation, then when hes done that, if he wants he can go test drive the country of his choice( while I'm still at home in the UK)
When he finds out it rubbish( which I think he will) as his reasons for moving there are rose tinted and maybe not the reasons for going there.........he can come back home with his tail between his legs for me to say i told you so.
If it is good, then he can find some way of affording to ship out nine bikes in a container, 2 dogs, 2 cats.....because I ain't selling any of mine and I aren't palming off my beloved pets just to go away.

You see after all the planning...its toooo expensive to do all that, and you may as well stay here, or.........move to rural France, in a tent, in the garden of your best mate...hehehe cheaper, nicer, and my prefered option
You may feel that my views on this subject are awful( and feel sorry for Im Indoors), but I don't go nowehere unless I'm completey convinced and so far(even with friends in NZ) I have not been convinced to move anywhere other than somewhere else in the UK

Is Britain bust as a nation? Are we trying to keep a sinking ship afloat?

Yep it is !

My problem is that at my age I know what this country was like fifty years ago
and believe me it was a great place to live in and to be on the road on a motorbike.

I think the country needs a good kcik up the **** to be honest, and a change in government.

Oh no, they won't let just anyone in at all. There's a careful selection process.

If say, you're a drug dealing scumbag from Africa, then you're welcome. If you're a well educated white westerner who wants to work here, but you're from outside the EU like my American girlfriend, then you're not.

I did move, and that was from NZ. I would never go back. my family, Parents> aussie sister>aussie, big sister>aussie because she can not afford to live in NZ and support her kids there. Brother >UK. Me> France.

I like the US but only the north has soul.
Aussie is ok. warm but no history.
Uk not warm but has history, and its close to fly when you want a weekend away. Try fly out of NZ. 30 hours to the UK. 16 to the US.
Nope for me, Im happy with this side of the world.

I suppose you'll get this wherever you go though.

I feel very dishearted with this country at the mo. There is no room for free spirit or sense of adventure. Every where you go people seem to like to tell you you are doing something wrong, be that in the country or in the town.

The rules and reg's in this country have become petty and have reached the point where people dont want to use common sense anymore, but just want to shout out 'YOU CANT DO THAT' ... this then provokes a need in me to rebel, or get angry!

Oh, and the weather really gets me down!
