Canada would be my choice. would have to be somewhere without a hockey team to avoid riots though.

I am now seriously thinking about emigrating. But where to?

Yes but you have to rent for ten years before you can buy a home. Also, whilst perfume, cigarettes and booze is cheaper bread, butter and any other food is more expensive.

Unfortunately it still suffers the problems the rest of Britain does. Namely no jobs, disproportionately high cost of living and disaffected young people with no futures

Your right after the events of the last few days this country has finally hit rock bottom. Let's be honest shall we, this f***ed up government have hardly won any friends since taking over have they. I don't condone what these thugs are doing, but lets be honest every single hard working person up and down this country is worried to hell they are going to lose their job, they have less money in their pocket due to rising bills, and it feels like this government does not give a shit about the people that really matter.

A friend moved to Canada last year to be near his sister and then had to return after 6 months as he couldn't get a work permit. He had a job lined up but it didn't work out for him so he had to give up and come back to the UK.

I'd go for Switzerland if I could get the family to move out there with me. Cheap flights back to Gatwick to get to the Amex, and the environment is far more pleasant than here. I'll give you an example: in 2001 we attended the Swiss National Day celebrations in Zweisimmen, a sort of district town for the area. The entire central square was plastered in wurst wrappings and beer bottles when the celebrations were over. We went back into the town early the next morning. The entire lot had gone and the place was back to normal again. The same year we went to Lewes to go Christmas shopping, and the place was covered in burger wrappings, beer bottles and vomit. The council workers didn't turn up until 10 am to clear up all the mess. Also, it has a superb transport system, both rail and road, without half the traffic we get here.

That's OK if your conscience will let you live like a king whilst others live in cardboard and corrugated makeshift houses in shanty towns. I loved Constantia but I couldn't live there with armed guards and barbed wire topped walls and seeing the squalor just a few miles down the road.
I agree it's a beautiful area though, I especially liked the drive to Camps Bay

Too many rednecks, Austin on the other hand, probably the best city in the US.
Agree - Austins one of my favourite cities in the world

I lived in Denmark until a few years ago - if you are serious drop me a line, I'd be more than happy to share my experiences.

Thanks. I might just do that. I have family in Sweden but am still slightly favouring Denmark, if only for their more relaxed alcohol laws!

I'm sorry to say it's still mostly dearer than Sweden though.. in fact, it's preferable for Fynen based Danes to make the drive over t'bridge to Malmö and stock up..

This....
This is the 5th country ive lived in apart from England. Saudi, Holland, Belgium, Germany and here. Speaking English actually helps here. Everybody wants to learn English as it improves job prospects. Ive dated more beautiful women here JUST because im a native English speaker is unbelievable. Beers not bad, and If you are inclined, you can carry 15 gr of grass (10 gr more than Amsterdam) and low crime rate) In Holland the bastards actually spoke better English than me. Just avoid France (for many reasons apart from the fact they are and always will be our natural enemy)
