Lived in the North of England for too many years (36) and got sick of the whinging, whining and 'it's not fair' attitude from so many Northerners. Some lovely friends too - don't get me wrong - but so glad to be living in a positive go-getting place like Australia.
And, yes, I do know this is about going back to the UK.
Just dropped by to make me realise that I made the right choice.
This really isn't the place for you, and I am sure you will take your negativity to the States too. Lucky them.
