What do you most enjoy about UK now that you've returned (apart from seeing your loved ones! ) ?
For us, it's because UK is so alive compared with Oz (seems like friends might feel the same )

I wouldn't say it's necessarily one of the best (not, say, in the top 10), but it's hardly worse than living in Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijian....don't even get me started on the rest of the alphabet.
How do you expect people to take such exaggeration seriously? It's not even in the bottom half of the world's countries, never mind being "one of the worst".....

Why dya even argue about it? Some people want to live in the UK, some people want to give Australia a go. Some people like Austria (like Don) some people are in the good old US of A.
Even if you try somewhere new and end up back in the UK, so what? You are where you are and you make the best of the situation.
Life's what YOU make it after all.
There always seems to be a bit of rivalry between people wanting to go to other countries and those just returning to the UK, but I don't really see the point of it. I am applying to migrate to Oz, but I'm never going to slag off the people who have just come back to the UK. Good on them for trying in the first place I reckon. Some people never get off their arses and give it a go, so good on ya to anyone who has tried.
Everywhere in the world has good points and bad points - face the facts. If you don't like where you are you'll find the bad and won't want to see the good, and vice-versa.
I'm goin back to my pint now

Yes, what a stupid comment to make! And, I for one, happen to think that England IS in the Top Ten of countries to live and I have lived in Europe, USA and Canada.
How about backing up your negative comments? It's utter bullshit to state that England has the highest taxes/pollution etc.
As for rotten people, where I live people are, for the most part, polite and considerate. Admittedly, there are elements of English society who are crass and in-yer-face types and I dislike their attitude as much as the next person but to generalise like you have done is just silly. Austria is welcome to you!
