Why do you feel that way Dixon?
Some things I like about England are the enourmous variety of healthy snack food, the pubs and bars, and the art/music scene. And also the tanks and fish, the fact that many things are freely available, there's a big second hand market etc, I can buy all the clothes I like in london, 60's boots etc.
I love France very much, though from the looks of things it's not much better than Spain for monster fish and big tanks.
Part of the reason for wanting to move back is practicality, to properly market my business I should really be in the UK as that's where my customers are primarily. So far since I started, all the customers have been english, apart from one person from New York.
Sqratch - that's the main thing that spoils England for me, all the damn chavs and lager louts. I'm not a scaredy cat by any means, I'll fight if I have to, but I just don't like the atmosphere it creates. I like a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. And going out at night in london or brighton you jsut don't get that, too many drunk *******s about. England would be great if the chav factor was cut right down.
