Would I go back to live in England?

Forget the appalling weather we've just had, living in England is much worse than that. Every day I read the English papers online and seldom find anything cheerful that would drive me back there. I read about young children in gangs carrying guns and knives, about the problems of binge drinking. Thousands of children have ASBOS which apparently they regard as "badges of honour". The price of petrol is set to go up to £1 per litre. Traffic jams stretch several miles long every time the sun comes out. Farmers are worried sick about foot and mouth and now bluetongue decimating their stocks. None of this paints a rosy picture does it?

Bigastro might be a bit untidy in parts. Round every corner there's a building site and the local lads kick the service boxes over every Saturday night on their way down from the Pedrera but it still feels like a good place to live.

So the answer to the question is NO.
