My advice get out while you can and move to Australia, where you can escape the treadmill of british chavary.

If you got heaps of money you can move to a plush area I suppose.

One thing I noticed in UK when I returned after being overseas, is how selfish and insular people have become,, there is no mateship or general feeling of how are you.

Look in ASDA most of the employees are overweight slobs, probably earning just under the threshold to claim every benefit going, to feed the 6 kids they have...to 6 fathers....sorry just go on this [URL="http://www.fat-pie.com"]and its UK through and through...

Ok, I'm here again. You've probably had enough of me saying the same old thing but you guys are the only people who really understand.

Hubby and I barely talk to each other. Tonight, his few comments were about the scum that live around us. I know exactly what he means. He was walking back from Asda with our 3 year old son and he passed a family arguing, the dad calling the son a nobhead. Nice!!! That's the kind of area we're living in. I really don't want my kids growing up here. I feel like we're gonna be trapped, with house prices going down. Hubby and I both have the same feelings about these things but find it impossible to talk about it. If we had the money right now, we'd probably go back to US but we don't and I don't see us having any anytime soon. What did we do?? I feel so guilty for ruining my family's lives to drag them to this hell hole.

Thanks for listening.

just no comparison...
i started hating UK once the novelty of being back worn off.

Ashame really the country has a lot to offer if your loaded, family life turned crap, due to poor weather, sky tv, and working away...

Everyone said the same thing, "Twenty years ago, you wouldn't want to have lived here but now it's an up and coming area" I really don't see it "up and coming" though and I don't want to wait around to find out.

I know a lot of people from the Uk over here in Canada who continually bash the UK but deep down they are trying to justify their decision to move out here in the first place and the enormous amount of money they spent

I put in a lot of hours, sometimes between 45 - 50 hours a week, I didn't claim any benefits. I was training to become a manager there (but then life brought me to the US, so :))
Don't judge people that have no choice but to work in places like ASDA. At least they are working and not scrounging off the dole. If Walmart was as good as ASDA, I would work for them again in a heartbeat.
