Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?

What opportunities? The environment is not safer, is less populated and the press (I use the term loosely) doesn't report crime the way they do in the UK. I'm a parent and I did my kids a huge...

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?

I spent most of my working life in London....never had an issue with people there. London vs. Vancouver - no contest as to which city (as opposed to town) wins.

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?

No........you cannot be serious <said with a true Victor Meldrew tone>. Tiger ice cream is, along with Kraft Dinner and Cheese Whizz, truly one of the horrors of the world.

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?
