    Given a choice, other than your own, which country do you like to live in, and why? My answer: Still surfing through the list of countries in the world ... :-)

            NZ I have all the points I need, the chance to go and a job, then I can be fit and healthy, free from crowds and it is the most peaceful country on Earth. Unfortunately, my wife won't go!

                        England. A once charming land which is now just full of sportsware-wearing, shaven-headed, gold-chain clad yobs. People on the street are generally impatient, thick and rude. Often drunk to the point to being a danger to themselves and those around them. A lot of people actually *watch* or even aspire to be on Big Brother. Combine that with a knackered economy and a dire Government and it's the perfect mix. Oh, and two weeks of sunshine a year.

                        Regards, Rob Philpott.

                                I got little rain, no fog, no snow for my summer holidays there (three times).

                                Actually, a lot of snow made me change a bit the winter holiday plan and visit the Lake District instead. Another issue was the very short daylight (very long day light is, a big advantage for summer holidays).
