Don’t Move to France ... until you’ve done your homework.

Hello,

Thanks for the website. At last, a refreshing change. I love France. I live in the U.K.

I for one am completely sick of hearing what a dump the U.K. is and how fantastic France is. I get sick of the elitist attitude of the English that have moved to France. They go on as they had moved to the other side of the world not 22 miles across the channel. Let's face it, it's different, but it's not THAT different. A slightly different culture, maybe, but it's not the same as moving to Calcutta for example.

They conveniently overlook the fact that that the U.K. has made them well off enough to buy property abroad. They buy some picture postcard cottage in Brittany then compare living there to living in a large English town such as Wolverhampton.

Slagging of the U.K. seems to be their favourite pastime. Telling us what fools we are for staying here. What they forget is that, as British people, they have contributed to making Britain what it is today. Have you noticed that it's not THEIR fault but always someone elses?

The people on Anglo info, especially Brittany, make me want to gag. Who DO they think they are?

If someone should DARE to post there that maybe it's not Shangri-La in France then the post is deleted almost straight away! Try it! Can't slag anybody off either due to something about French law. Liberty?

There was a post recently asking what to do about young teenagers pining to come back to the U.K. to their friends etc. Crying themselves to sleep and all that stuff. The answer was obvious. Go back to the U.K. What sort of parents put their kids through this hell in pursuit of THEIR own dream?

I know the U.K. has problems, which country doesn't? Life here is not really that bad at all. The problem with a lot of people in the U.K. is that they really do not appreciate how well off they really are.
