Re: Its not all doom and gloom.......
lolIt's bad enough that the flights back home (apart from the expensive scheduled airlines of BA & Air Canada) seem to be dwindling! Gone is Zoom, the Monarch flights I've heard seem to be cancelling certain flights and putting the passengers on Air transat instead, Globespan are a bit "fragile".......Crikey, I'm feeling like slowly but surely those gates ARE closing

Re: Its not all doom and gloom.......
England is a fabulous country, isn't it? I'm saying England not Britain just because I don't have any strong feelings about the other bits, but know I don't want to live there. But England, most parts of England, absolutely!
Everyone canadian and American I know is simply envious. The people from the UK split, but it's partly based on where they're thinking about. Some talk of an industrial area where jobs have been lost and it's cramped and dirty. I'm sure there are places like that, but there's no need to go back to them.
But most of them are a bit wistful but staying for children and grandchildren.

Re: Its not all doom and gloom.......
My friend in the UK just emailed me this and it reminded me ofjust how great the British humour is.
Dear Sirs:
In view of what seems to be happening internationally with banks at the
moment, I was wondering if you could advise me. If one of my checks is
returned marked "insufficient funds," how do I know whether that refers to
me or to you?
Sincerely ~ ___________

Re: Its not all doom and gloom.......
What I dont understand is when a person says they are unhappy living in the area they are in and automatically think they need to change countries!! On my two trips back in the last year, i realised i didnt want to live where i had originally come from in UK. It was an urban London suburb. Maybe my age is catching up with me, but i wanted to be in a quieter place, so, when i went to stay with my daughter in rural Essex, I was smitten within a week! Absolutely perfect for us. A quiet pace, yet 45mins drive from Lakeside mall and 45mins train ride to central London!. I could never give the London buzz up for good, so dipping in and out of it from there is exaxctly what i need.

Re: Its not all doom and gloom.......
Funny you posted. I was looking at a nice little cottage for rent in Great Dunmow last night (or was it little Dunmow? lol ) OH has the possibility of working for forensic mental health sevices near Rayleigh, so i was circling a 20 mile radius of there.
Thanks for the other villages, I will take a look.

Anyway, sure you'll be looking around yourself which is half the fun. Good luck.
