.... What would you say?

I have been vaguely thinking about if I had to leave the country, where would I go?

Of course, there are all the really obvious options, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, North America, Australia, etc etc, but I don't want to be another one of the sheeple.

I always liked visiting Poland, but it would be a true jaw cracker of a language to master, as would, I imagine other Eastern European and Balkan countries be. So, what about Germany, after all, I did do German at School. Hmmm, putting aside their horrific recent past, maybe.

Ok, so what about Denmark? It looks good, people speak English and there is a good cycle infrastructure in place...... But a bit like Belgium and the Netherlands, isn't it as flat as a pancake and as dull as ditchwater?
Right, so Sweden..... oh hold on, they used to give little disabled kiddies the snip didn't they? I could never associate with a society that did that!
Norway.... Well, it sounds good, Dayvo lives there, but, no, hold on, don't they still kill Whales, and anyway, isn't it something like £10 a pint or similar?
Finland? I know sod all about the place except for that the language is a jaw cracker again and sounds like something from Japan (Suomi).... Ummmm... There is a member on here from there though, @Jussi Halonen.

Any suggestions? I'm just curious.

What about crossing the water & going to Ireland?

Ireland is the only place where I have actually been racially abused by some twat ticket Inspector (of all people) on a train in Dublin.
It kind of took the sheen off the place a bit for me.

Maybe I could move to Craggy island though! :whistle:

I'd need to get myself sorted out before doing anything though anyway.

I did think about Switzerland, but like Germany (and maybe Austria), aren't there zillions silly, anal little rules you have abide by just to get by?

Scotland has that dubious honour in my case. In a quiet pub, a local stuck his face right up to mine and sneered "I bet you voted farking Tory". I hadn't actually, but the warm reception certainly made an impression.
