You can't live your life believing everything you read!!! Not everyone is a chav, not everyone is a smoker, binge drinker and so on! Why the article would stop anyone moving back home is beyond me??

gypsygirl

Well I only said might, I think alot of it is true.

englishrose

not interested.we are moving back soon and are looking for the good and getting on with it.
plenty of people i know,like all of them,have never seen a chav,been abused in the street,go out binge drinking,get into fights,dress like slappers or hooligans.
how much of this is hype??

LeedsGirl

Agreed! Much of the same could be said about any country including the USA.

"It has become the mainstream culture across the United Kingdom."


That bit isn't.

we live in a small town in alberta,we have kids smoking drugs in the alley behind us,theres a massive crystal meths problem,(i didnt know what it was till my daughter told me)
there are vanadals and undesirables wherever you live.Probably more spread over here,thats all.

brissie-here-we-come

she is right, that describes uk too well,sorry folks but this is exactly why we want out for our kids,it may happen everywhere i hear you say,but maybe not to the extremes it is happening in uk .

englishrose

but you dont attack people when youre drunk eh???

LeedsGirl

Lol!

gypsygirl

Maybe she doesnt remember lol

englishrose

never been to Oz so i cant talk ,but maybe someone on here might tell you that it isnt as good as you reckon?? i dont know,just a thought.
we came here for the kids aswell,and i honestly believe we are doing the best for them by returning.

gypsygirl

It is why we left, but its bad here too, so we are thinking of going back. Swings and roundabouts, I think its getting worse in the Uk. I know its in other places too, but Im talking about the Uk here.
