Hm....2 have voted for no...so there must be a catch.

You need to learn some Spanish...

... and you probably need to have girlfriend before you go there otherwise it might get boring.

i would emigrate there yes... if i had loads of money

as you have indicated the earning is not great..... 130 quid a month for a butler.... wow.

so you'd need to be at retirement age really and have a nice little nest egg.

no thanks, where I live is nice enough for me

Wow, Cidem!, gorgeous view Boy do I miss living by the sea

It can be a bit queit and isolated out here but when I watch the news and see all the problems blighty has with terrorism, murders, drugs, extremist groups and the PC brigade.......

Would i move back ?? Not a bloomin chance !

i emigrated to spain 5 years back, i know thats not the same as the carribean but at least i learnt spanish haha.
Anyway, now I'm back in the uk because you realise grass is not greener on the other side. Over time I've travelled a lot and lived many places. I had a great time away but there are always things you miss. You get to the point where you even miss rain, no joke! Many times recent i've just gone out and stood in the uk rain, how sad....
well you also miss stuff like decent shops and choice. I know we generally find faults here but I now believe its no better anywhere, just different.
I voted no

ps, i live by the sea too, so trying to get the right balance

but: too cold to go swimming...especially in the winter
