Changed Days

Come back to Birmingham and you won't be saying the same.

Maybe life here is rosy now for you but for millions of others I doubt if they would share the same sentiments what with high living costs ,debt problems and lack of jobs.

Spot on.

i was born--and grew up--in birmingham. --in the 50's and 60's---so--i can compare life there--now and then. there is simply no comparison. ive got family there----one is a retired doctor--and could live anywhere he chose.

its easy to blame the UK if life is "hard"--but its likely to be a lot worse elsewhere.

I agree...before i came here, i thought it would be easy to find a job but its not. We'll just keep trying.

I think once you get regular work it throws a different light on things, so one would want to stay here!

People don't emigrate just because it's 'hard' here. If it was they probably wouldn't be able to afford to emigrate.

One of the main factors is the weather.

The reasons I want to move have nothing to do with hardship. It's a combination of the weather, the rat race, the people, and barmy politics.

... changed topic from the point I'd ORIGINALLY intended for discussion when starting this thread - which, at the outset, had been to compare how straightforward it used to be for persons from abroad to migrate to the UK upon their marriage to a British Citizen.

Ahh ... those were the days.

Not everywhere is the same.
