Default British Exodus

This is an interesting thread from the returner's forum:
http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=255124

Looks like the UK establishment are beginning to realise they're losing their brightest and best to emigration again ... unfortunately, being a UK journalist he asked the question about how happy people are overseas in a forum for people who are heading home ... sounds like sloppy journalism to me.

Anyone feel like enlightening him with some tales of happy emigrants who wouldn't be dragged home by wild horses??

Are you challenging me to get surreal??

I just read through the Oz version of the thread ... what a mouthy bunch ... makes SP/Mick look quite a gentleman.

I've emailed him too to see what's happening.

Gee, I don't know.....at your age....do you think you're up to the challenge?

Tell me it ain't so......you e-mailed sp to see what 's happening after we just got rid of him.....you really are a "glutton for punisment" aren't you. Is that because your Scottish?

Guess I've have to be more annoying to give you more of a challenge.........

Ah, you're just too kind to me....I get such a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that you're looking after me so well.

My head's been rotating for years.....up and down and back and forth - that's nothing new!!!!!
