    Another thing: if your OH is working for a Swedish firm or with Swedes, you will certainly benefit from their work/private life balance. These guys have got their priorities straight. The UK culture of "work until you drop" is not the norm and life is family-oriented. People tend to work shorter hours, take a proper lunch break and are generally a lot less stressed than the UK. There doesn't seem to be a blame culture, just a "let's get it done" attitude which is refreshing to say the least. After all, something over here must be good if I've kept at it for 2 years!

    Very true and they still get their work done. It really is an alternative way of life. You are now making me miss it.
