As Warlock says things have changed since he got to the "pit". Without in any way belittleing what he says, but things have changed everywhere.
A Buddy of mine was having a rethink..going to take a job with Easy/Go/MY Trav/ A2000. I said great but what about petrol at 1.12 UKP per ltr, council tax etc etc oh yes and what are you going to do with your 5 ! boats?
Life here is not a bed of roses by any means...........but where is these days?
We, as a family, are happy here at least happier than back "home". We have a very good standard of living, not rockstar living but far better than home.
Inflation is on the rise due to the $ peg but that is out of EKs control.
Life here is what you make of it, don't for F##ks sake make your decision on what you read here, as previous poster said "the unhappy just shout louder".
