Currently here in Hong Kong and do miss BHA and Sussex ,but as a whole you notice things more when you come back. Standards do seem to have lowered in services etc waiting list queues , but end of day it is home and i know when i do come back it will be to live in or close to Brighton.. Thats if i can afford the council tax and the rest of Labours stealth taxes!

I have already lived overseas for nearly 9 years, plus another 3 in Scotland, can't say I missed all that much...so, yes, I would happily live abroad again and almost certainly will when I retire.

I did mention to Mrs Gwylan about living in France but she would have none of it.

So, I would but I think I'd be without a family.

Yep. Would be in Oz now if I could get a visa. Next option is the States :) Anything to get away from the grim state of this country.

Absolutely.

We only moved back (from Egypt) about four years ago and are ready to head away again. Probably to Luxembourg, but possibly back to Egypt.

Had certain things in our lives not changed we'd probably have moved away this year. As it is it'll be a couple of years down the line, but definitely before our youngest child starts full time school.

If you can't get a visa for Oz you're not likely to have much luck with the States...

I don't think you need a visa, you just need a tornado to take you there. Watch out for the wicked witch though.

substituting "England" for "Ireland".

I've spent a fair bit of time travelling around to come to the conclusion that, erm, I could live here or in the UK but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Possibly Slovakia when their police calm down and realise they're in the EU.

I would consider moving abroad, but have not travelled too much and so have not found the ideal place. thought about Dubai for a while as I have friends who live there and I visited once but right now that is too big a leap.

I love English countryside and would love to end up living in Lake District, possibly Kendall or Ambleside. Checked out house prices there and you can buy a three bedroom, own parking, stunning views etc for approx £110G, not bad. However I am trying to establish myself as an actor at the moment and work is picking up, having had several paid jobs already this year and looks like it's on the up so being in The South of England looks likely for a good few years as that kind of work is hard to find in Cumbria!

Hove, f***ing ACTUALLY.
I've got no intention of staying here in 5 or 6 years time, we certainly plan to have a flat in Brighton for coming back, but we have already invested in a house in France, its a great location beside a beach, crime is low, its not bursting at the seams, the food is great and the pace of life is much much better.

I will miss Cricket, and possibly the Albion if we get Falmer, but not much else about the day to day routine.
