Great Chitter Chatter - Stories from Loud Voices

A Survey was taken by over 1,000 British citizens who moved abroad who in this economically hard time to find new pastures green on the subject of “what country is best to live in”.

The survey was carried out by the international banking giant NatWest who revealed that 92% of Britons who moved to Canada were thrilled with their current working environments, and even more so with the financial security, other variables which were rated in strong favor were the health and educational systems and above all non-polluted environment.

NatWest had suspected that the Canadians may take the winning trophy as they were prominent winners the year before! Canada is an influential member of the commonwealth which means the people of England can make the move generally hassle free; in fact at this present moment in time Canada is welcoming the troubled families of England with open arms and will even contribute to your efforts.

What are they getting what we’re not?

For Starters British families living in Canada are earning enough to have disposable incomes, rather than wallowing around in piles of debut like the majority of British families are currently doing.

Housing is far cheaper and on a much larger scales another positive could be that the banks in Canada are also more prominent to lend money due to the countries financial and economic stability so a move for first time home buying could also be on the cards.

The Environment is clean and fresh unlike the general environment in the UK which is generally polluted and very dirty.

However emigrating over the drip does have one setback for elderly pensioners whose pensions will freeze at the same rate they were when they first started drawing them out aboard, this could potentially become financially crippling with inflation through years to come.

Other strong intenders include Australia and New Zealand where Britons who’ve moved and worked abroad are earning around £50,000 to £100,000 a year whilst British Expats who took the plunge and made a living in Hong Kong are earning easily in excess of £100,000 a year. Canada has been worthy for an economic boom for some years, it’s just ironic that it hits the steeple point of the countries success in the centre of a world economic depression.

I’m lucky enough to have three housemates who I genuinely like and get along with, I’ve lived in shared houses where we’ve detested one another. Like the guy whose pet rat escaped and rather than try to catch it, he let another one go instead. I eventually found one dead in a kitchen drawer but only after it had eaten through cables and washing machine hoses. Another was a guy who moved in before telling us he had problems sleeping whose bedroom was immediately above the front door facing a reasonably busy street. Since the rest of us were students and pub-workers we usually came home late so we started using the back door rather than get screamed at once more. On one occasion he burst into the bathroom to tell my girlfriend off for making too much noise while washing her face and another time he yelled and hollered at her for opening the kitchen cupboards too loudly.

Currently I live with three girls. Two of them aren’t the best of friends but we all seem to get along fine. But the clichés of what it’s like to live in a house full of women are up-side-down! It seems to be me, the guy who empties and re-fills the integrated dishwasher every day, cleans down the work surfaces, my life is a constant battle against crumbs! Our house doesn’t have such things as integrated washing machines or condensers tumble dryers so we use clothes horses, it’s often impossible to get from one end of the kitchen to the other without tackling knickers that have been drying so long they’re starting to collect dust! The bathroom is often a disaster area with damp towels piled on the floor, make up and shower products forming escarpments and parados lining the tub seemingly designed to prevent me from getting into the bath. The same bath I have to release from scum and hair every time I wish to use it. So the myth that blokes are the dirty, messy lazy ones who expect their women to rush around cleaning up behind them stops here!
