Surprised no one has quoted this zinger, yet.

That said, I'm not hugely enthusiastic about being british. I just couldn't stand to be anything else.

I'm not sure why I love England.

Only to say, I love England in the same way I love my family, without rhyme or reason and because I was born to both.
USA France or Sweden
My favourite person today :hugs:

Ok , but let's say you were not born in England , where would you live ? .
USA :tongue:


(I did marry an American girl afterall.)
Barbados
I'd most likely choose England again, to be honest. All things considered, it's a place I'm very happy to have had the privilege to be born and brought up in.

If I got the choice, I would have picked a much better area of my city to grow up in, but eh. :redface:

Canada, probably.


This would be my other choice.
Actually amazed how some people have chosen UK...of all places...
Australia or Canada is the place to be.

Australia = evil spiders. No thank you. :colonhash:

Why not the UK? It's a pretty great place, in my opinion.

UK the weather is not so good.
And it's overcrowded.
No beaches or open spaces.

Loads of people hate spiders, snakes etc. You might be interested to know that I was once in the vicinity of a king cobra (someone else was holding it, and it towered over them) :biggrin:

Definitely agree with that! :yep:
