Trust me. Itās a lot harder in a different country. I lived in Spain for 6 years and all I did was work. Everything has a cost. I put up with toothache for 8 weeks as it was cheaper to fly to UK have a holiday while getting tooth fixed than pay dental fees over there. UK people have it good in that aspect. NHS deserves a lot of credit

Yeah Canada is not bad for health care, dentists are expensive, anything in the hospital is free, prescription drugs are expensive but a lot cheaper than the stateās.
It took us 3 years to get hear, and another 3 to get a mortgage, credit ratings donāt travel across the Atlantic.
I still have English moments and get into the wrong side of the car lol.

Yorkshire is nice, roads are fairly empty compared to down south. We stayed at a place in the lake district one year, an old 15th century farm, where the floor was at a 15 degree slope, and I kept sliding out the bottom of the bed lol.
Fastest part of the M6 when traveling up to see the in laws in Scotland. Visited that big shopping mall in Newcastle bought a leather jacket there for the wife.

Can tell you only passed the place @Shadey the scenery of Yorkshire is beautiful out on the moors or some of the reservoirs and lakes are lovely and most of our beauty spots are off the beaten path so most donāt even know they exist which is great BUT my issue is that I happen to be born and live in the UKs 2nd worst city, and not just saying that it is actually 2nd or 3rd of the worst places to live in the UK.
That being said though if I was to leave England I would only move to an English speaking country so Canada, murica, New Zealand or Australia. But I also understand to get long term visas for those places you need to prove X Y Z before you can stay longterm.

Yes mate. I just decided one day Iād had enough of the UK so I packed up and left. Benidorm I have family living over there and they allowed me to stay with them until I got on my feet. Ended up living over there for 6 years. Being drunk became normal and obviously other stuff more or less took over my life so I finally said I canāt take any more and came home. If Iād stayed any longer Iād likely have died.

We stayed in the lake windemere area for 4 days, it is very beautiful there.
Yeah these places speak a kind of English lol. Itās quite funny what words donāt exist here or mean something different. My sister is in New Zealand, about an hour north of Aukland, she loves it out there.
There is a gov website you can put all your skills and stuff on, it tells you if you have enough points to qualify, the amounts change depending on the skills they are short of and which part you want to go to.
Nova Scotia, is very short of people less than a million here. There is probably more people in the south of England than the whole of Canada. We have a permanent residence card. Might go for citizenship next year if they donāt change the costs again.

Well in Canada we grow in igloos! Depends where you are in Canada, but it gets hot as hell in the summer time. Bat wings!
Tent is looking great! Ya that is some low humidity, my temp was the same since yesterday but humidity is holding since my one plant is close to harvest.

LMAO I would like to see that.
Not seen that product before, certainly has a lot of p and k in it. You may only need like half a teaspoon per gal of water.
You just have to keep the nutrients a bit lower when the humidity drops. As they will be drinking more water.

100% when I was there I was talking to a hotel manager and he was telling me that Benidorm used to be a fishing town until us Britās took a shine to the place and slowly but surely people kept going over buying property and then pubs and clubs then the need for hotels itās all tourist funded.

Yeap, they spend it in getting drunk and doing what they wonāt idare n their country

Fortunately now Spain is switching for the search of tourism of quality, not hooligans and pimps looking for getting drunk the faster possible. (Please forgive my exaggeration). Seriously speaking, now the brits with the Brexit have lost a lot of richness, due to the pound going down, the Russians and Germans are actually our best clients.
One thing I cannot understand is why they like to reproduce their country (pubs ā¦) instead of enjoying our food and manners. You can find brits living in Spain for decades without speaking a single word in Spanish. I lived in Granada for many years and was depressed watching the Mac Donalds full of brits and yanks, in a city where you can find the best ātapasā (plates of local food they put you with the beer) in Spain.
We had more than 82 million visitors last year, 18 from the UK, now with the Brexit things are going to change and maybe the beaches in Dover will be full . Hope you travel to other places in Spain and know different people, it would change your mind ā¦
@Explorer Sorry for the off-topic, your plants are looking great!

Haha no problem dude and thanks 
I love it over in Spain I personally donāt think the amount of tourism is directed solely at drinking either but unfortunately some people do give bad impressions because they canāt handle their ale or people like you posted enjoying a lads holiday and probably getting in there with a couple drunk lasses everyone has a different perspective I guess

As I told before, it was an exaggeration, most of the time Iām always kiddinā. Fortunately, most of them enjoy our food, culture and good weather. Maybe the problem is that they donāt like to mess with other people, they build their own ghettos under their own rules. But that also happens with Germans, perhaps our culture and way of life are too different (weāre latins 
) and they prefer to keep it their way ā¦
