Why not? It is perfectly possible to dislike the situation regarding illegal immigrants and welfare spongers, but not to dislike living in the UK as a whole, but still want to see some more of the world before you get tied down by grown up middle aged responsibilites like the kids or the mortgage or whatever. You seem to see things in a very polarised black and white / good and bad / right and wrong way.

Just like it seemed in about 1982 then? Life went on, in fact many people did quite well. Life will go on, so in the words of the guide DONT PANIC!

I agree in some ways, the kids in the UK seem to have little respect for anyone.. it's very sad and the parents are the ones at fault of course. You will find in NZ they are very polite and respectful.

However, there are other things about NZ that you won't like, trust me, I know... For us the bad things outweighed the good and we returned.

Good luck with NZ.

concorde gone
erm, joint project with the french, and well past its design lifespan, hardly as english as the coronary breakfast now was it!

rover gone
Previously sold to the germans, and never any good at making money anyway. If they cant run it at a profit, thats too bad. Cost of living has to be a factor but the japanese seem to do OK in that product area.

rolls royce gone
Not gone, Owned by the germans who have invested heavily and not exactly an everyman product, or did you mean the world class aero engineering company thats still doing OK and made 300M profit last year?


michelin gone
About as british as champagne!

were knackered mark my words
I wont hold my breath.
