I had the seven year itch, many many years ago...but still here... when things dont go as I want..I think about good lol England..the rest of the time I am happy to stay..
I would think that about 10% do go back...40% moan, say they want to go back..but never do..and the rest are happy to stay...and live "the dream".

Thanks Ken.

I have mulled over that one for a long time i.e. where to retire as I have lived and worked all over the place it only seems right that I retire to the one place that I have been the least, yeh the UK! :shock:

Left England 8 years ago. We have just rediscovered the UK for holidays and quite enjoying them - visiting old haunts and catching up with friends, but no desire to go back full time. I couldn't stand the weather apart from anything else :cry:

1 year on Wednesday!!! How time flies. I would only go back to the UK if we can't make a decent living here or if, in the future, my children become unhappy in Spain.

I think it must be some kind of statistical survey. 8)

If you answer them you get loads of junk mail.
