Best: Weather (less hurricanes), beautiful waterside scenery and beaches, watersporting opportunities, good house prices.

Worst: footy shirted and union jack shorted, obnoxious, whining, sunburnt, boozy Brit cheapo package tour specialists in Orlando and Clearwater, pay worse than a lot of northern states, too many Dubbya and Cheney stickers in pickup trucks!

That's a truly ironic comment because CA produces so much of the country's fruits and vegetables...

I know ... I once stopped by one of the roadside shops and bought a bag of oranges for $1 ... these were oranges picked from the trees growing right beside the shop ... those that were not eaten the first day were completely rotten just a few days later!

Given up trying to get fresh vege at Albertsons ... but did manage to get really fresh green beans from Trader Joes ... together with half a pound of real Welsh cheese!

Best: weather(now),
tons of stores so everything is available

worst: weather (in August),
tons of stores so it's just all concrete buildings and highways
and not enough pleasant green areas
