Lothar - if that's how you want to look at it then that's OK by me. I agree in some respects, but have you ever lived anywhere else?
My opinion?...
I moved here 7 years ago from the UK and have no desire to go back there. Now and again I find something I miss too much and go back over to visit family and maybe the odd pub, but a week and a half later I can't wait to get back over here.
Face it, you all have a terrific country here. If you don't believe me you need to get out more!
