or the Lake District for me, having said that I am quite happy where I am. 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

That would be my initial reaction, but having Italian relatives who live in a so called sleepy hill town, I know that the grass isn't so greener there either! Once you get past the idyll that holidays can blind one to when looking at a place, and see the day to day living, cost and moaning of Italians just like us, it isn't quite so romantic!
Silvio Berlusconi or Gordon Brown.....I can't decide!!:eek:

What are people's thoughts on Dubai? There's a lot going on there just now and being a bit of a night owl I much prefer the idea of working in the dark but getting out in the cooler part of the day.I am a Mortgage Consultant and don't like to be told what I can and can't put in a signature so long as it's legal and truthful.0

My company has opportunity's in Dubai and Siberia, i made it clear that Siberia is my preferred option by FAR.
I would rather eat my own foot than visit let alone live there.0 -

Its a fake plastic city in a desert without the dubious charms of Vegas, as far as i can make out the only thing it has going for it is shopping and i dont really buy that much.
I'm a mountains and scenery kind of guy, i dont really care how many shoe shops there are to chose from.0 -

Purely prejudice, here, because we've not been there (and aren't allowed to go, so won't be there any time soon).
It strikes me as the ultimate chav-tastic new money hell-hole....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

guess u like crowded places. last time i was in india about a year ago i saw on the local news, they had just inaugurated a 32 lane highway.
Delhi's insane, I agree. But it has that certain something.
Have you read City of Djins by William Dalrymple?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

If I had to leave the UK, first choice would be Delhi, second somewhere in Israel - by the Galilee, perhaps.
Just to clarify, I'd be careful to avoid places such as Sderot. OH's cousins who live there have 4-5 air raid warnings a day, and their children are suffering badly....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
