My place. UK vs Phils

[joebloggs]

Half the price. Double the standard. No comparison

the only thing now is finding a job in the phils that pays you at least half of what you get in the UK

I`ve come to the conclusion that some people live in a real hole here in the UK. Does anyone on here actually live in a nice place?
I have no crime here, cant think of many immigrants either. The school is nice and friendly and the air fresh and clean. I love it.

I'm sure some people do, but if the UK is so why do people still live in the UK when they some could easily afford to live in another country but don't

My point exactly Joe. Me, well i`m very happy here and the grass is very green where I am

Me, well i`m very happy here

ME too ... with Adam ... and, as I've just implied above, it's extremely doubtful I'd ever want to - or ever will - move anywhere else!

... but then again, who knows ... ?

I earn my crust online, so thankfully I don't have to find a local job. What I earn is barely enough to get by on back in the UK, but it just about stretches here. I'm trying to put some of Nigel's theories in to practice so will hopefully be living like a king soon

Its because they are scared. Too many if`s and buts..
I think its sad and a wasted opportunity.
Of course many Brits couldn't imagine living anywhere else but the UK..
Good for them..In some ways they are very lucky to be content there.

Better to work for yourself here and earn twice what you did in the UK!!
That wont be hard now the EU have imported so much healthy competition for the indigenous Brits.. Im told that these Europeans in our great capital are working for 30 Pounds a day cash in hand..
Crickey,thats what I used to earn in London in 1985!!

Umm doing what for 30 pounds a day im guessing those doing less than 5 hours or so in legal work on minimum wage and those on whatever hours in the cash in hand ecomony?

Many are not recruiting from the EU anymore for various reasons of course less jobs empty and people in UK taking work they would not have before.

But I have noticed at my workplace and its customers across the various commercial sectors mainly longterm British residents are streaming back in to jobs before were often recent arrivals and these are various levels of skills and abilty from warehouse staff to IT consultants even director level.

I bumped into quite a few former ex pats in the course of my work recently whose calculatons sadly didn't see the time when sterling would crash and were it seems not making enough local currency abroad or lost there job One guy has come out of retirment in spain and of course hating every mintue of it
