The Remoaners are really at the bottom of the barrel of scaremongering now Laugh

Apparently a no deal Brexit could mean that Brits won't be able to watch Netflix whilst on holiday in Europe Doh

Who the f'uck actually forks out a fortune for two weeks in the sun and then spends their time indoors watching Netflix Huh

F'uck the all inclusive bar, the pool, the beach and scantily clad tottie, never mind the mini-disco and pissed up Agadoo, I'm catching up on Orange is the new Black Laugh

Quick, lets have another vote to see if we can change this Doh

EDIT :- Just a thought, if this were to be true, perhaps if we refused to go on holiday in Europe until they reinstated Netflix for Brits the hotel owners and resorts might change their minds Whistle

Obv being an expat as its advantages but unlike the US / Canada etc Dubai is not forever esp with young kids and aging parents back home.The question is whether to go home or look somewhere else for a better quality of life than Sheffield / Derbyshire.

Do any of you guys have any regrets leaving the uk? How the quality of life compare?

I have some minor regrets about leaving the UK, mainly not seeing family as often and certainly for the first few years here having almost no way to follow Wednesday's games, but technology has made both of those thing easier since I left 17 years ago.

I really don't miss living in Sheffield or the UK, our quality of life here is so much better in my experience. I earn more than I would in the UK and there are so many more opportunities here not just with regards to your career but also with your leisure time. I have traveled across the states a lot since moving here, most of it on business but also some epic holidays as well, and there are still a number of things on my bucket list that I haven't yet done!! As it stands today there is no chance of me moving back to the UK!!

hahaha .. not quite charlie although the carwash on friday afternoon you can get coke and shit and other things that taste nice to perk you up after 3000 beers so you can go home to the wife without looking pissed as it is not acceptable for a mexican women .. and they hit harder than a yorkshire one Sad

but for me its English mustard as this only gets passed the border when mum&dad come over without this sunday dinners are lame ! and my wife after many beatings cooks the best yorkshire pudding in the world Whistle

also fish & chips although i do that better ...but its just time comsuming Thumb down

the beer i dont miss its better over here as every day is a hot one and you could drink piss as cold and hot go together well Thumb up

and the people are better of in England because they get offended the mexicans do not give a xxxx and actually respect me more for saying it like it is ! they are a bit like us only 30 years ago Doh

nope i will never go back you can shuve it up yer arse Thumb up

and the weather ffs .. we moan here when its 30 cel !! i couldnt cope with that shite anymore yucatan is beer drinking country every xxxx day of the year !

SCO summed it up perfectly with respect to salary and the opportunities here but a lot depends on what job you have.
Its nice to go back and visit but I don't think i could ever go back and live there. Have to say though the OWLS IPA in the Wednesday Tap at the weekend was as good as the Craft beers in the PNW …. just more expensive.
