Just joined this website. Sounded interesting.
I am currently in UK -working full time, but am thinking of changing the water.
The question I had for long time about US was,
IS IT REALLY THAT BETTER LIVING IN US??
If so, in what respect. This is also question of my wife. We have been to US for 2 wks holidays many times in the past, and loved it, but my wife thinks that it might be different when you are working there. How am I gonna know if I have never stayed there more than 2 wks for going to shops and restaurants and spending money??
If you have lived in UK before, and now living in US, could you please list good points and bad points about life and working in US? As many as possible?
Thank you.

My quality of life is better, the weather is better (SW-FL), I have a pool in my back yard, the beach is 20 minutes away and the water is warm, you get used to the beer, the restaurants are better, the service is better, the steaks are definitely better, I can buy oxtail in my local supermarket. There appears to be no law against having fun.
Sure, I prefer the beer in the North Staffs. but I wouldn't re-migrate just because of it. I do miss the oatcakes though.

Now Biddulph, that's a different world entirely.
If you have a decent Oatcake recipe which can be used at home please pass it on.
