I agree there are many beautiful places in England but ya know it's still England isn't it.

Why would anyone want to come to a Brish expat forum, mainly to slag of the country that although the expats have left there, still dont have the opinion that you have, ie that it is F**ked,as you put it.

If your father has just retired you cant be all that old,if you run a successful business, and if you have a load of money, as you have already stated in previous posts, why are you so disilusioned with the UK.

Quite frankly I dont know many Spanish of your age who can say that they have achieved what you have, so the UKmust have played somepart in it, and yet your posts sound more like you have been clobbered at every turn by the UK and it policies, usually such bitterness towards ones home country is usually the domain of the serious knocked about citizens or ex citizens.

Ok so you have never met me in your whole entire life and your surmising about my age and my business and my opinion on England even though you ain't got the first clue about my life and where I come from ?

Ok I'm 25 I'm a grafter I earn money iv got ambition I ain't loaded that was a sarcastic joke but my ambition is to be loaded I'm good at what I do iv come to Spain to enjoy my life. I'm from Birmingham it's a dump it's full of immigrants who get everything before our own people and it actually pays to sign on the dole rather than work in England now it's a shithole end of I don't care what you say the country is finished in 10 years time it's going to be mainly Muslim do why would I a 25 year old lad want to sit in that everyday I don't have kids I ain't got any responsibility and I'm saying what I think weather you like it or not you don't need to worry about me do ya ? Everything about the way England is run is wrong face facts and if I was to have kids I will not be bringing them up in the dump that England is now. Ok fair enuff people are happy in England many friends of mine and family are happy in England getting on with there own lives fair play to em but everybody is entitled to there opinion and I ain't sitting around back home scratching my arse thinking hmmm I wonder if things will get better in England 1 day cus it ain't it's getting worse. All iv tried to say in a nutshell at the beginning of the thread is that I'm young single no kids the worlds my oyster and I'm enjoying life am I doing something wrong am I ?

Iv noticed on this forum there's a lot of people who bite when somebody posts positive things like bitterness comes out of people weirdo's

I mentioned earlier the England is F****d Brigade, most of whom were losers who were glad to get back there within a few years.

I could also mention the "Plonky Brigade", who mostly seemed a level headed decent sort of crowd when they arrived.

However a few years of pointless,aimless existance spent mainly in bars downing cheap alcohol, left many of them with pickled livers, pickled brains and well on the way down the tubes within just a few years of arriving.

One guy I knew well fell of the top of a building when drunk, another simply tripped over his veranda wall and smashed his skull and another died in hospital with the usual liver problem.

All three I knew well, but never tried to match them drink for drink and I always retained other much more healthy interests, like chasing women every night, :rofl: to keep me fit and compus mentis,..well almost,anyway.

Just a friendly warning to those still in the early years of enjoying their "Spanish honeymoon".

See this is the thing with me I maybe 25 but I'm not your average lager lout Brit who's in Spain getting pissed up every night I'll save that for when I retire hehe business comes first but business also comes with socialising so I don't mind going out for a couple halves or a glass of red. What I love about Spain also is you meet people from all over the world who are decent people and sometimes there in the same line of business as you do it's win win ain't it

Quite a lot of 25 year olds in Benidorm are in the herb and garden supplies business.

Jusht be careful how mutch you dwink when dishcushing business and don't believe all you hear in a pub as gospel.

In fact better still don't believe any of it at all.:thumbdown:

Sorry if iv offended anybody by telling the gospel truth about England and how it's become not a very nice place to live and praising Spain oops.

It may not be for YOU, but not for others. Living anywhere requires an effort on your part to make life enjoyable. Happy people tend not to shout from the rooftops about being happy, instead the minority, the whiners go up and moan about how bad their life is, how bad the country is, how bad the roads are (who paid for the nice roads in Spain), how bad the government is et al.

All my family and friends (and I really do mean all) are a happy bunch, most are professionals but just as important they find ways to occupy their lives, have hobbies, interact with others, focus on family; they don't sit on their asses thinking about how hard done by they are, how life has crapped on them because doing that is the highway to a rendezvous with life's moaners.

Life is hard in the UK for many but not as hard as it is for the 30% of the Spanish workforce who can't find work, not as hard as it is the the brits who for whatever reason have gone breasts up in Spain and need to go cap in hand without a pot to pee in back the the very country they could well have been bad mouthing not so long ago.

So, while you are unhappy don't include all of us in your despondency with the UK, its not a true reflection of how many of us think. The UK still has a lot of positive things going for it.

Good luck in Spain, I hope your spirits lift.
