it depends on how old you are and whereabouts in England you want to live i guess. I live in the South (Devon) and i dont like it very much, probably because im still young. People move down to devon to retire so theres not much really to do if your my age.
I went to London a few weeks back and i absolutely loved it!! i want to move there when i'm older. theres so much going on which is good, because i get bored easily. But i know some people that hate it, so it all depends on your preferences.
Also, if you like hot weather, dont move to England, as its always raining and you rarely get a really hot summers day

There's nothing that I would like more than to live in England. I think it's a very beautiful country with a lot of history!

I have lived in England (the south thereof) for my whole life (18 years) and I love it. We have so much to be proud of (and some bits to be ashamed of) and we have such a rich cultural history. I don't like the huge amounts of immigrants however. Those who work and make a good effort to learn English are fine, but not those who take benefits and do nothing are annoying. And yes, we have a marvellous economy which sadly means houses are currently hugely expensive.

I am English but now live in NZ as the reality of day-to-day life in England is not that great. Its expensive, dirty, crime-ridden, violent and over-crowded. However, there are so many things I miss about it too - the history, culture, sense of humour, music scene, comedy, real ale, daffodills in the spring, I could go on. I say go there, experience it, love it before you grow to hate it and have to leave.

Getting a working visa can be a pain for non-skilled Americans wishing to move to/work in England (*legally*). You're not EU and you can't claim asylum, so the best way to move there is to go to college and get a useful degree (ex. international business or medicine). Or you could do what several of my friends have done... study there for a semester and find a local who is sucker enough to marry you. That's a free ticket right there. ;)

I have an English friend, and she said that the economy is really down. It would be great to go there for vacation: experience the people, cultur, etc., but I could never imagine living there. I've seen pictures and it's a beautiful place.
EDIT If you say so! I'm just passing on what my friend said is all. I'm sure England is great. =)

Where do people get the idea that it is always raining in England. They do get many lovely days. It is a beautiful country, lots to see and do. BUT it is darned expensive!!
A coffee will cost you $4.00 - $4.50

people do exaggerate the English weather is, it's okay, especially in the south
summers are lovely (very long daylight hours) and can get very warm, spring is 50-70% lovely aswell
it's our winters that are the problem though - i wont deny that for a second - its very grey skies, perpetual drizzle with intervals of heavier rain, and very short hours of daylight

To what you have said, ditto. I would love to live there. Though living further south like in Italy or something may have its perks during the winter.....

Gingi - the economy is not down, in fact compared to the American Dollar, it's bloody brilliant!
I like England - it's my home nation.
