Unlike on here where you have some guys with numerous expensive time pieces in varying precious metals, but there is no snobbery, however on that particular forum a guy with say a 500slk amg fully loaded, a porsche for a sunday runabout and a Bentley GT for special occassions takes one look at muy sorry old e class and thinks 'scumbag' That is how shallow people are over here. Sad but true. Lots of people are nowmoving abroad because this country is going downhill fast......especially with all the immigrants coming in.
Rule Britannia.......cobblers!

I left the UK in 1999 to live in Canada..Best thing I ever did! I just cannot take the apathy and snobism (reverse included!) that abounds in the UK. There are some really wonderful folks there but they are being drowned out by the rest of them.
I do still spend extended times in Scotland which is quite different from England where I grew up. There is more space up there which helps.
I can fly direct from Vancouver to Scotland now so can cut England altogether! It makes me sad to have to say that but I just find England so depressing and if you have a good idea and it's a bit different then it garners little or no support, in fact it attracts a kind of loathing! Three weeks after I arrived in Vancouver I had more friends than I did in thirty years of living in small town Devon! If you have a good idea here folks champion it much more. Just my two cents worth!
I read an article the other day saying that British people are becoming the biggest export from the UK!
