Yeah agree with the above.

The climate in the UK may be fairly boring, but we do get thunderstorms, snow, storms, heat etc but just not as much as so called interesting climates. Most of England and Wales to be fair is perfectly acceptable, Scotland and Ireland would bore me to death as they just never get any sort of heat and really their summers are appalling, but then again the whole of the UK is certainly a lot more liveable than other climates that get freezing cold winters (Northern US, midwest, NE, Asia) and other climates that get brutal summers (deserts, etc)

The climate of the UK is certainly not something that should prevent somebody from taking up a job offer over here.. living pretty much anywhere in England you will have a very high standard of living, a good social life etc, which is far more important.

I disagree, I wouldn't encourage any American to come to the UK. Its pretty boring, even England, London is nice to look at but I definitely couldn't stand living there with the tiny roads and lack of cars, I would go out of my mind.

The UK is a small country anyway so theres not much to do, after you've been around the country a few times you've seen it all. America is a far better country to live in, there is endless things to keep you happy.

You don't need a car in London anyway, so why would that factor into the equation?

Just get the bus or train then, it's quicker than driving in most cases, not to mention far cheaper.

Really?

I think that both countries have their advantages and disadvantages. Overall I think I would prefer to stay in the UK than move to the US, though.

The US would be good for a holiday, I'd hate to live there though.

Yeah I tend to agree.. i'd have to try it before I commented on it, but I am perfectly happy with my life in this country right now

It's funny because a car is smaller and more compact than a train. Lol

Yes. England is so boring compared to America.. You can fly across it in 1 hour and it takes 6 hours to go across America.

Also many many many towns and places to go to. If I lived in a town in Florida I would never eat in all the restaurants.
