Meh, the grass is always greener. I moved here from Australia. The UK is brill.

Thank you.

OP, if I ever leave it'd probably be to northern Europe, and maybe retire somewhere in Africa. I'd like to work for an international organisation in future, so I doubt I'll stay in one place. But for now I'm staying put right here.

I think I'll stay here if I have a lot of cash.

Britain is not a good place to be skint in.

That's depressingly true.

I'm thinking of doing the opposite in the (near) future. (That is moving to the UK).

I don't yet see myself permanently moving out of the UK, but I definitely want to travel and I'd like to settle in a place that takes my fancy for a few months at the least, properly experience a different culture etc. I do get quite restless so I'm going to explore as much as I can before I settle down!

If Britain becomes anymore of a 'nanny state' ill probably be forced to.

Sad poll results, I thought people thought it was a great country.

It's a great country compared to most others, but I doubt it's the best for me. At least not at the moment - I need to get out, stop reading pessimistic newspapers and see more of the world for comparison.

Can still be a great country (or good, at least...), but there are better...and there are worse. I don't see no one wanting to move to South America or Africa!

A plantation in Kenya or a vineyard in the Southern Cape. Now that's gracious living.

I intend to immigrate to the UK permanently. Though I may live in other countries for short periods.

I don't mind a lot the country at all, but on the whole the people are rather unpleasant and there are plenty of ****ty parts that just look depressing in the winter.

I would love to move abroad after my degree, perhaps to Mumbai or Hyderabad but would also like to have a home in England as this is my true home.

I would quite like to leave the country, but I will be sad to leave the people I know and love behind. My likely destination would be Canada or Sweden (if I ever learn the language - which I intend on doing one day).

Not keen on that word to be honest.

Well the UK has a strong economy, and a lot of people will be glad to live in a society that can give them in a year, what they may never have had in a lifetime elsewhere. But when you're born into this country, I think people come to expect more in terms of quality of life. I have to say it, the UK offers a poor quality of life in terms of things such as leisure, work-life balance, cost of living, space for habitation and recreation, a (perceived?) decline in "traditional" values, and, for some people, the weather. But I agree that life here is a lot better than many people care to realise.
