After being here for nearly eight months, and having had four holidays here in five years previous to moving here permanently, we have just sat down and given marks out of ten for the following:

Steve Jo
Weather 4 5
Cost of Living (in relation to wages) 4 5
Taxation 3 5
Education 5 5
Wages 5 4
Cost of Housing (wage related) 7 7
Cost of Electricity 1 0
Cost of Petrol 8 8
Quality Of TV 1 3
Quality of Groceries (inc meat) 10 10
Scenery 8 8
Friendliness of People 10 10
Family Entertainment (cost availability) 9 9
Child Entertainment 8 8


Just our personal views !!! :unsure:

Its not utopia but overall not a bad place to live, and over time some marks may well increase :)

We're not exstatic, nor miserable and not thinking of rushing back to the UK, It takes time to adjust and build a new life.........but in the long term you get back what you put in, especially in the first year.

Steve

Glad your enjoying it there Steve

DEBBIE :D
