The Cleveland Browns (football) moved to Baltimore in the mid 90s and became the Baltimore Ravens. We have a new Cleveland Browns team now and they suck!! They have great fans though - some go to every game even in the freezing cold and snow. Not me - I wouldn't go if you paid me!!

Then there's the Seattle SuperSonics who became the Oklahoma City Thunder which I still don't understand...

Not to mention the controversy, Middlesex were originally the Crusaders, but this was changed to Panthers after complaints from Jews and Muslims.

Depends where you are moving to and how you live. I find fresh fruit and veg to be ridiculously expensive in Los Angeles, especially when they are only delivering it up the road 20 miles. Junk food though is scarily cheap.

That's cos of all the government subsidies that the corn industry gets. Despite the fact that HFCS should probably be listed as a toxin than is a direct cause of diabetes.

But in the US much more than in the UK costs are effected by where you live.

As I'm sure many others have said. It depends where you are moving from in the U.K to where you are moving in the U.S; it also might depend on a whole host of specific circumstances. For me, assuming I get the Visa this month, I'm going to be a lot better off but it could have been different. I'm also moving from London after which pretty much anywhere is better value for money.
