A lot of people are saying "The country has gone to the dogs. As soon as I can, I'm out of here!"

I'm pretty sure people have always said it, but what about you lot?

The poll options are necessarily rather general, so please elaborate! You can vote for 3 options, and also change your mind.

I would still like to live in the Lake District, but I really wouldn't mind living in Iceland either.

I quite like where I live at the moment. If I had a job with a better wage then it'd be even better (but that's as true of anywhere, really).
So count me as a happy camper for the moment.
Italy was nice, but I think as a visitor you never really get any idea of the country's bureaucracy.

I consider myself very lucky to live in the UK - and I love it.

I don't care about bureaucracy when there's Jökulsárlón.

Preferably Germany...

...but any place where English isn't the first language.

I'm the complete opposite. I always hated trying to learn foreign languages, so I'd have to move somewhere where English was the main language.

England or Wales. Failing that, somewhere in the EU. I might consider somewhere in the northern United States - I'd like to visit Chicago and Seattle (though TBH I like the nice things such as universal healthcare).

I just love languages and, in particular, thinking in other languages.

Every time I go to Germany I come back thinking and talking in German; it takes me a few days to adjust to thinking in English. It's wonderful :D
