I remember reading the OP's threads 10 years ago and how he was whining about the UK, and now it's Canada. Some people just always find something bad anywhere... Waiting with popcorn in hands to hear about your Cornwall move ….

You have a good memory. What I've noticed on this forum is that there's a type of "expat" that when they want to move, instead of making a straight forward rational decision, have to invoke the "current country is going to the dogs" mindset. It's always the 'politicians' the 'crime rate' the 'taxes' and other very vague media-driven gripes that make living in the country unbearable. In Cornwall it will be, "lovely costal countryside, more affordable, but damn those Londoner coming and buying second homes, and the kids can't find any work, dried up EU funding is starving the country of investment, and aren't the Cornish a bit odd."
