Spain is the 3rd largest country in Europe after Ukraine and France. Russia didn't factor in my post. If I did, Spain would be the 4th largest country

This is a good thing to remember. Never mind what your personal opinions are about the UK and the people living there, there's no way denying that the UK is one of the most successful, influential and wealthiest nations in the world for the last.... well... 600 years or so.

Yeah, Spain has warm, sunny weather which is why it is so appealing to Britons, and in any case, Brits have always been willing and eager to move and travel the world.
