The other man's grass is always greener, or appears to be.
Like others i have been to the state's and a lot of European countries, but as an holiday maker so you only see the good sides.
I remember being in Llorett when i was 18, it was like Blackpool with the weather, English and Scottish bar's and Disco's all along the front. But we were told just to stay on the holiday part and not stray around the back streets behind it.
After a few weeks anywhere i can't wait to come back to England.
Our country is far from perfect but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
