I think the BBC were on this forum a week or so ago looking for people who were struggling to make ends meet here and wanting to go back - that in itself tell me that the conclusion and the story was decided by the media and not by the reality. They could have asked for people who were doing well out here and they'd have got responses and made their programme about that - but all the british media ever do is "doom and gloom" - I hate them, they're biased and they make what they report happen!
I KNOW there are alot of folk who are finding the euro/pound thing a pain, me included but the media seem to enjoy "bigging" it up and making it worse. I dont believe running back to the UK would be a cheaper option tho!
