lol Didn't say I'd miss the snow, I'm from south east England, not too much snow there compared to where you are, but I do miss the Autumn, and the winter... and the spring.
See... it's kind of a one season wonder down here in FL
Maybe I'm getting an itch to move somehere with a noticeable seaonal climate change.

The grass is always greener ain't it! I remember last winter thinking 'Why didn't we go to Cali or somewhere with sun?' which was quickly answered with memories of Florida where I was panting for air in April. I can't handle too much heat I discovered!

I'm from Bedfordshire originally so I know what you mean! I have to admit I enjoy being able to make snowmen - i'm nearly 30 but making up for the lack of snow in my childhood

LoL yeah you're right it is always greener on the other side! I don't pant in April, but I've definately been known to overheat a bit in August when I first moved here Took me a while to adjust to it.
Florida's a one season wonder, and I do like the winter, as for the heat here in the summer, it's what central Air Con is for I like to see the leaves fall, and be able to wear a jacket, coming from the south east at home, I was mentally used to that.
After 5 years of being here, I'd possibly be tempted to go for a change of scenery now, if the option came up to move to a different state. Not that I dislike Florida particularly, but I do definately think it would be nice to try something different.

Common to CT then.. slowly as Brits we can buy back all the land and regain the British rule

englishinfl

lol Sounds like a plan to me!
CT, watch out, there's a British invasion on the horizon!

tonrob

I just think we might! I have three others at work I could draft!

englishinfl

Bloody hell, it's going to be a serious invasion!

tonrob

I think we might already outnumber them...

englishinfl

lol! Best we strike while they're all asleep, just in case

Andy_LongIsland

We can't lose - we're no where no the York River this time

englishinfl

LoL True, and let's not forget the element of surprise... I mean, after all this time, would they really suspect that we're on a mission to buy them out and take over the land... a little bit at a time?

another bloody yank

Cost of living varies a fair bit around the state, but housing isn't that cheap and there ain't that much for jobs depending on the sector...Hartford is a bit of a dump.

Really like the essex county area, Old Seabrook and other small towns, be a great place to live if you could work from home.

Haven't noticed any tolls either which was a bonus....though half the state are skankee fans, so that's a bit off putting

Oh, and most people we've seen were a bit crazy over UConn basketball

I love CT ..... well most of it anyway, you have everything close at hand
Beautiful countryside and seaside towns,big cities and gangs all within a nice comute to NYC or Boston.
I used to deliver to a place near the airport at Bridgeport, one day I got to my drop very early and climbed in te bunk for a kip .... when I awoke there were half a dozen parrots sitting on the mirror arm of my truck , I then noticed hundreds of the things flying around
The guy in the building told me that several had escaped from a zoo years back and bred, So ! .... Bridgeport actually has Parrots as a local bird

Mystic is a nice place also ............. see movie 'Mystic Pizza' the Whalers inn is a nice hotel there.
