Re: England too Expensive?
So they`re allowed to roam freely. Below pics show the diversity of the Redneck/Hillbilly race. Pic 1 your typical fun loving Redneck. Pic 2 Hillbilly father (on the left) with his 18 year old son (on the right) who was conceived after repeatedly shagging his first cousin.

That might give you some ideas. I'd go along with the one in that which suggests the term redneck of being a culture/lifestyle.
I could differentiate the two, and believe me, the rednecks around here aren't suspicious of outsiders, they're in the cities and towns, and don't care who they mix with as long as there's a beer around.

Re: England too Expensive?
I am guessing that a Redneck= A white predominantly rural working class person of little refinement and a suspicion of outsiders and they are based across north america but most notably in the southern states.
I am guessing a Hillbilly= Are mountain folk leading a more primitive life and far more isolated than their redneck neighbours hence the need to cuddle with whoever is close by.

Re: England too Expensive?
It's a culture and lifestyle rather than a particular place. We have a guy that lives on our street that has a big truck, loves running his ATV through the woods, drinks beer with his friends on the back porch and loves Nascar. He openly calls himself a redneck even though he's got a reasonable job and lives in a 400K home.
The only place I've ever had an experience like you mentioned was actually in Caernarfon, North Wales, everyone talking in English when we walked in, and as soon as I order a beer at the bar with my pretty obvious English accent, the conversaton of the guys at the bar suddenly changes into welsh, and the barmaid becomes distinctly unfriendly and uninterested. Morons.

Re: England too Expensive?
I've never had that experience here, wherever I've been into a bar, (I've visited more than a few) and I'm as English and "non redneck" as it gets, and the redneck guys will happily take up a conversation. Maybe if you were in some remote place in the very deep South... ? I dunno.

When we left he didn`t use the term morons but something far stronger

Re: England too Expensive?
You guys are so bad
Northern florida is not the worse place in the world.I couldn't live there but I'm sure a few British expats might love it
New York city spoiled me. I find it tough to be too far away from a major city. I like the many options offered living near a large metropolitan. If I want a good cigar for example it's nice to go into a store that sells all the best brands.
If I wish to buy an out of town newspaper from a very small obscure city in America or a paper from Spain or the UK,a hugh city has several shops to supply my wish list.If I want to shop at a store that sells "nothing but belts" or nothing but shoes for men with hugh feet,a major city like Los Angeles,or New York can cater to my needs. I guess that explains the phrase I love New York

Re: England too Expensive?
We are a family of 5 living in Aus saving to move to England within 5 years. I keep reading that England is too expensive. We live in country Victoria about 2 hrs drive form Melbourne and we are planning to move to the same in England staying from large cities. I am unaware how the tax system works in Eng but here i pay around 15% tax as a sub contractor painter. We pay 10% GST on nearly everything we buy.
The Pound is now about half the Australian dollar and buy looking at rental prices, wages, food and elec/gas prices in Eng it is identical to what we are paying now
3 bedroom homes in our area around the $1000 pcm 500 Pounds
painter wagers $20-25 per hour 10 - 12.50 Pound
food $230 per week (5 people) 115 Pound
Utilities $200 per month 100 Pound
fuel is a lot cheaper as i pay 50c per litre on LPG
Is this sound right to anyone else
To live in St Kilda Melbourne 3 bedroom homes are being rented from $500 -1000 per week 250 - 500 Pounds per week

Looking for a one-bed flat in London. The tinyest crud-hole is around 200 quid a week. Then there is the deposit on top (6 weeks), estate agent fees (75 quid), and 6 weeks rent on top.
Travel is 26quid a week into the CBD.
Food, fuhgetaboutit! A decent latte is £2.50. Beef sandwich from M&S, £3.
