uk or us

ok, so from what i have heard so far the uk (which i dont think any american really knows what or where that truly is) is a wonderful place to live other than the completely heinous treatment of the gypsies. so what is the downside? is work hard to find? rent high? gangs of roving barbarians sack houses frequently? im seriously considering moving over there!

I lived there for 27 years in various places like Oxford, Leicester (student days), Bath and Reading. I now live in CA and doubt that I'd move back, even though it's a great place.

Have you visited England before?

downside is everything is bloody expensive and the weathers not always the best.

U.k is o.k I like the fact that crime is quite low over here in comparison to the u.s.

Weather isn't always the best but think about this my friends, whys do loads of west indians, australians and many other from hot places always come to the u.k.

Another good think about the U.k. is it isn't far from many other places. I was taking to this american chick in holland last year and she was saying it was a bitch that amsterdam was a long hual flight. For me it was 35-40mins away

People aren't too bad over here and racism is generally lower than the states, dont like racism or any "ism's" too much other shit to worry about in the world.

I'd say come over on a long term visa and see how you get on. Best to come to the south (I'm biased) its warmer and higher rates of pay.

uk has a higher theft rate than the us

uk
murder 4 per 100,000
rape 14 per 100,000
theft 6062 per 100,000

us
murder 6 per 100,000
rape 36 per 100,000
theft 1145 per 100,000

dont you have gypsies in the us? theres always a lot in the papers over here about gypises causing problems. there used to be a camp nr my house never had any problems then, the council built ditches and mounds to stop people stoping there now though
