[Closed] UK 'worst place to live in europe'

can't complain really. We allow the system to continue, many of us actually vote FOR IT. If people are so unhappy they should stop gorging themselves on shite telly, shite music and shite highstreet aspirations and make their own lives more enjoyable rather than expecting someone else to do it for them.

I reckon the UK is a great place to live, but then I'd enjoy living in France, Spain etc.

All about attitude ain't it?

Tosh, and since when were there only 10 countries in Europe anyway?

Greece is a wonderful place to live..

I have friends who have just recently emigrated there from the UK.. If I had less tying me down I would quite probably join them..

Are we really surprised to hear that the way the government are running the country into the ground - I'm not saying any other parties could do any better, but couldn't they just get on with it and work together to make this country great again.

It could all start with parenting classes to teach parents how to look after and how to treat children. not let 4 / 5 year olds wander the streets late at night.

Get people in the mindset of working for your money not just how to sign a name and you get instant money. Make people do voluntary work for a given amount of time each week. Let them earn the respect and self esteem that comes with working for a living.

Sorry went on too long.

I could say a lot more but it might be a tad controversial.

That's my 2p worth

Comparison website uSwitch said that things were getting so bad that one in 10 people in this country were considering emigrating.

So what did they do, ask "have you considered moving abroad to a nice sunny country?" right after everyone has come back from their holidays... I'm shocked it wasn't "10 out of 10 people in this country were considering emigrating"

uswitch.com - that well known definitive source on quality of life!

As the above have alluded to, this isn't a research study, it's an advert for uSwitch.

If this is bad, I hate to think what a third world country is like....

They included days of sunshine ffs.

Rubbish, Dorking is best place to live in the World 😀

Lovely today.

I disagree. I think the UK is the best place in the world.

I'm an hour away from the hearts of a couple of great cities, well 1 great and 1 ok if you like that sort of thing, sme brilliant mountains with ski-ing and proper out wild mtb'ing. A bit furher and the world muntain bike championship trails become available. I source a fair amount of my fod locally and this weekend was diving in a marine nature reserve touted as one of Europe's best dive sites. If I sit in traffic for 10 minutes I complain about the traffic jam. the water that copmes out the taps is fit to drink. if I get sick, I know I'll be taken care of, even if it's a diving accident needing hyperbaric treatment or a long term mental condition. It snows in winter and the sun shines in summer (sometimes)
Maybe our neighbours to the south are dragging us down a bit, but I live in a fine country, and yes i have considered emigrating, but there's no place I'd rather be.
