And having moved from a village I can tell you village life is alive and well in rural england if you just have the eyes to see it.

As I said before, take the time to read the list I already posted, if you can be bothered!

I live in the country i own 5 acres of Countryside and a lake in my garden and trust me after a few days its boring !!!

Just out of curiosity ? Why did you go to Spain then ? If living in UK as you so rightly boasted is a great place ?

Because I wanted an adventure and a complete change of life style ...... just because I moved here doesn't mean I dont like my country of Birth. I am extremely proud to be British, but again that doesn't mean I dont get embarrassed by some of the antics of Brit tourists.

If you've got some dosh behind you, Britain is a beautiful place to live. Its got its problems for sure, but you wait until you get ensconced in your new home in Majorca .... you may find its not all sweetness and light there either

Well i am ashamed to be called British nowdays .. thats why i add the 1/2 German bit .

I have dosh behind me and i hate the place its now become with a vengeance !!

If its not all sweetness and light i will write a report accordingly and move onto Cyprus or pastures new until i find the place that ticks most the boxes

You will fit in well in Mallorca being half German, as they own 70% of the island and make everyone know about it too.

and I just have to say, Jen, if you need to come back then feel free to express that need, and don't be bullied into staying in Canada or not discussing it at all just because some disillusioned ignoramus hates a country that has given him all he has up until now.

Well theres always room for healthy debate aint there ..... and yes I would. I cant take someone seriously who says that the English countryside is boring and nothing special. You can dislike a country for sure ..... thats your choice, but when it comes down to saying things that are clearly untrue and misrepresentative then thats another thing and would give prospective people who want to move to the UK a jaded view.

The Lake District, The Malvern Hills, Snowdonia, Derbyshire Dales, Exmoor, The cliff walks of Devon and Cornwall, Scotland in General, Stratford upon Avon, York Minster, Canterbury, ..... all very boring unspecial places eh?

And thats exactly what we did ...... all I was trying to illustrate to him is that you dont have to hate and diss your mothercountry to start a new life in the sun. Comparing everything to the UK ALL THE TIME is not helpful

Its not world war 3 its just a healthy debate , the forum needs a challenging conversation or 2, or it will become dull lifeless a bit like the UK

If we did meet i would most certainly have a go at him about his Racism problem
