Personally, I don't mind it here, I don't love it, but I don't hate it either, I'd say indifferent, but I don't fancy being old and or poor here, and certainly not here if I weren't in a position to afford/drive a car here.

Retirement? I plan of dying before I retire. I'd end up a grumpy old f**ker that has nothing better to do all day than abuse people on internet forums. Atleast while I am of a working age I can save that for the evenings.

Ideally we would like to have a home in the sun here and a home near Chester, England....best of both worlds.
