good place to live because:
1. the country is beautiful
2. no Bush!!!
3. you get paid more for the same job (with the exchange rate)
4. great shopping
5. (i think from when i was there) less segregated than the U.S
6. better music
7. better restaurants
8. less stress (everyone goes home for lunch work and school for a couple hours)
9. people not as pushy/ less rushed
10. everyone there has really hot accents!

I dont think its too bad. You have to appreciate what you have. When I think of the amount of dangerous countries I could have been born in like Israel or Iraq, where its all bombs and war. Too many people in England whine about taxes and stuff but they really are spoilt and dont realise how lucky they are. Generally the police do a good job, theres good education and health, I like it!

Don't live in England - choose Scotland!!
Why?
Scotland is the brains of Britain that is why we are at the top!!

I've been lucky enough to travel the world over the last 25 years and i would have to say that England ( or parts of it ) easily outranks anywhere else. Everyone harps on about the USA but mostly its people who have only ever been to Disney or never been at all and believe its like what is shown in the movies. Once you have been a few times you relise you wouldn't live there to save your life. One of the best places to live because of a high standard of living is Holland but the only place i would move to is France. The whole way of life is much better there. My top five are
1 France
2 England
3 Holland
4 Canada
5 New Zealand

i think we are very lucky in the UK. i lived in the USA for 2 years. i did have a good time,but felt my life in UK more relaxed and easier. my American relatives agree!

i now really appreciate the following;

Not having to shell out money to visit the doctor(i had insurance but still had to pay cash per visit)

public transport readily available,none in the town i lived in!. i had to ask for lifts all the time,which i didn't like to do!

i get 4 weeks holidays and 10 monday hols in my job here. i got 2 weeks in USA,and was really tired and stressed.

UK is not perfect of course,but i was relieved to get back and be able to jump on buses,go to the dr when i am broke,go on holidays and have long weekends with all the monday hols!
last year i hurt my leg,i was off work for 3 months on full pay,so i am glad of that security as well.

i also earn more here,doing the same job!

edit; i am just saying what I experienced,maybe other people have had completely different experiences

You could live in a worst place......like France.

I live there and it has good and bad points, although the bad outweigh the good!
Good:
Free health care
Get paid a bit more than the states, and you get more vacation time
Has fantastic history

Bad:
House prices are at least double of what you would pay in the States - and you definitely get more house for your money in the States too
Fuel is expensive
Taxes are high
Basically it's a VERY expensive country!
The weather is terrible - it rains for most of the year
The justice system is the biggest joke around and is almost non existent - honestly, what other country would suggest that paedophiles and sex offenders don't go to prison?!
It's over run with immigrants as they let anyone in
It's also over run with "chavs"
1/2 the population is as miserable as hell
Service in shops etc is terrible
The road systems are horrid

I could go, but I think you get the idea!!!

I just moved to England from the US and I have to say it goes both ways

Good reasons
1. Free Health care
2. No Bush
3. A lot of alcohal
4. Nice people
5. You're close to a lot of other great countries
6. Climates pretty moderate, it doesn't get very cold or very hot.
7. It's not the US which is always nice and its not full of Americans
8. Wonderful Chocolate!

Bad Reasons
1. High taxes
2. Expenive as hell
3. Bad healthcare
4. bad Transit
5. Bland food
6. No ranch dressing
7. You're not allowed pets anywhere
8. No space ... Or SMALL spaces to ... Everything
9. French People
And my personal most hated IMMIGRATION!!!! They hired people with an IQ lower than my plastic cup ...

England is an AMAZING place to live.

1. It's people are down to earth and realistic - they don't expect everything on a plate and can take criticism (just watch American Idol lol)

2. It's relatively low crime (most police don't carry guns)

3. Taxes could be lower but they're not too bad.

4. Anyone can start a business and make money here.

5. It mostly accepts all cultures (not like America with it's generally segrated nature) I live in Bristol and English people work happily alongside Indians, Iranians, Australians, Europeans, Japanese. - It likes hard working immigrants, not ones' along for an easy ride.

6. It has such a mix of countryside, beach resorts and cities.

7. We are a much more free society than the US, and nowhere near as politically correct.

I could go on and on, but one thing, any english people on here criticizing our country need to get a grip or stop moaning like old duffers.

Bad the food is horrible unlike the US where in every city you cdan find at least one good vegetarian resteraunt it is also horribley expensive and they are more favorable to christians in england so they are racist also

angel22

like all countries it has its good parts and its bad parts, for me personally i have lived in England my whole life but i want to experience the american life.
as to which country is better its the individual opinion.

christybitencourt

Seems like an interesting place to live...many places to see and so much history. However, I've been told that it's ridiculously expensive and the weather is dreary.

Gone

i agree with the first answer. far too expensive to live. also the petrol, no more pubs to smoke in, and it keeps flooding yet there's always hose pipe bans! shame, lots to see n do. its just the government want all your money.
you moving there?

If you had been able to ask the question 40 years ago , I would have said it is a beautiful free country. That was then though, today we are the most watched people in the world, we are spied on and we are governed by a dictatorship, although one that was voted in by the young fools who believe the lies and spin that they are fed. These same people will thumbs down my answer because they are brain washed into political correctness. If I could afford it I would be off like a shot from the country I fought for but has now been swamped by aliens and illegal immigrants. They have no love for this country which has been destroyed by the liberals . Scotland although still part of the Union, hates England although they are getting a substantially higher amount spent on them from the English tax payers. This cannot go on and we will see the break-up of the UK sooner rather than later.
