What would it take to make you go home ?
So what would it take for you to voluntarily to return to the UK ?
You can get creative - better weather, Mother In Law to join a religious sect, less crime, more money, banishment of chavs to Guantanamo Bay, less populated, less traffic, free porn etc etc ? The choice is yours.
For me, ideally all of the above.

What would make me go back, climate change and Britain finally joining the Euro and taking it's rightful leading role in Europe.
Oh and when the annoying 99% of Aussies finally wind me up too much.

The thought of paying $1,115,500 in tax would make me want to be UK resident very fast !!!
Other than that;
Less people, much less.
Better weather, ie rain mainly at night time not during the day.
Cheaper beach front property within 45 minutes rush hour of capital city.
Better border controls to stop the French coming over, close the tunnel
Things like that
(Nothing personal against all French, I have some French friends, but....
)
