More studies for the sake of studies!

At the risk of being a fun sponge, this doesnt actually have anything to do with Canada does it?

Perhaps one for the moving back forum, where it would no doubt be as popular as the proverbial ham sandwich at the bar mitsvah? Maybe not...

Apologies... Consider my fun well and truly soaked up :rofl:

At the risk of taking you to task once again.

Purpose of the Maple Leaf Forum "Off-topic chat for all those living in or moving to Canada.":sneaky:

Doesn't say it has to be CANADIAN OFF-TOPIC.:p

My daughter has always lived in Canada and is in the process of emigrating to the Europe. After consideration of all the European countries she's chosen the UK.

There, thread rendered relevant.

The lack of holidays and late retirement will soon be coming to the rest of europe - after a few riots that is.

wasn't the UK talking about raising the min retirement age for men to 70?

Think has been changed for people born from 1968 onwards! :sneaky:

Late retirement is a difficult one, I mean if you live till you're 100 or 110, then why should you become idle at 65? I guess the real problem is that although people are living longer people still age the same way.

Followed by Chinarization of the work environment everywhere.

Re: Britain the worst place to live.. ?
 

Yes. People are going to have to work more to pay off the government debt. Because of this entitlements will also have to be cut (this applies to all the western economies, though Canada is in a better position than most). People should get used to the idea of funding their own retirement - which will be difficult and painful for many given the numbers that live from pay check to pay check.

dubuios study, shite journalism

http://www.uswitch.com/news/money/uk...-index-890419/

they only looked at data from 10 countries (there are 50 in Europe) and the UK came ninth, ahead of the Republic of Ireland. So hardly the "worst place in Europe" :rolleyes:

the study itself seems flawed in that it uses 16 criteria all of which appear to have equal weighting - example: they appear to suggest that spending on education as a percentage of GDP is equally relevant to the quality of life as the price of fags.

Wouldn't this study have more validity if they had divided the UK into north and south?
