The PC term is: F.U.C.T.

It's an I.T. acronym meaning: Failed Under Continuous Testing.

But in a nutshell - Yes.

My Dorset village is very nice...but I had to go to North London last weekend (A place I used to love) and it's not an experience I want to repeat any time soon

Gruff, I think this thread is based on sentiment rather than anything concrete, for the first time on BE.

Have a look how much the pound is worth against other currencies, a good indicator of confidence in the UK economy.
Have a look at the countries debt against GNP, Gordon Brown went past the limit of debt he set himself at least a couple of years ago.
Have a look at the lastest news on the UK ecomony and its negative growth compered to our european neighbours.
How many things do you need to read to understand that the UK economy is in bad shape, and its the sort of trouble we are not going to climb out of quickly.

Hey, there's a guy on another part of the forum asking about Leicester. He's been offered a job there and is thinking of moving from California. You're probably best qualified to answer him. Will check out where it is and be back.

It's in "Moving Back to UK"

It would be very helpful if you could define what you mean by "bad".

So why are so many people wanting to emigrate there? I can be such a dunce sometimes.

Do you mean legally emigrate, or the ones that hang on the back of the Eurotunnel trains?

Either one really. They do seem to want to get to the country so much. Yet apparently it's also f**cked up. I'm sure someone will enlighten me as to how this works.
