I spent my first thirty years in South Africa, and have only just been back to the UK for five years, its taken me five years to fully establish myself, not easy being a woman in her late thirties, but have managed to buy a house, get my two boys educated, properly because in S.A. they were going no where in the state schools, believe it or not, and establish my self securely in the UK workplace, because I actually wanted to work, not sit back on benefits, like so many of my British peers. I won't get into the whole South African do or don't scenario, my case was, my sons and I were hi-jacked in Johannesburg, and once you've seen a gun being held to your childs head, the whole world shifts on its axis!! The UK has its problems, yes, but we are still, even though we don't think it, better off than say.........people in South Africa, I complain about things now, but you know, when I just arrived from S.A. I was amazed at the freedom I had, it was and still is unbelievable. I don't like whats going on here, and I also think Labour is not the way to go, but i've been there and done that, I might not be in the UK till i'm old, God forbid! but maybe Europe, definately, my sisters have both re-located with their families, one to Southern Austria, the other to Vienna, life is much more organised and civilised over there. I will set my eyes in that direction, definately. Good Luck in your choices, do your homework first.
