I dont miss work.

I dont miss the mad pace, running around like a blue arse fly.

I dont miss the pushing and shoving when you are in busy high streets

I dont miss young lads spitting in the street

I dont miss all the foul language you constantly hear in the UK

I dont miss thye dirty streets

I dont miss my neighbour parking his car and van where he feels like it.

So on balance so far so good - but who knows what next week will bring, I know its early days yet.
