I may have to try New England as England has too many 'Innit' groups for my liking lol, a bunch of idiots that require education lol

I dunno... what country would you recommend? I always quite fancied Canada.

Canada isn't the best. I'd say, besides the USA, the best place to live or visit would be a tie between France/Spain. I would say Italy, but my sister visited Italy with her roommates and found that Italians absolutely hate tourists that are from America or allied countries.

I never visited France, but many people tell me it's the best place they visited, except the people there usually scare them away. NOTE: Walking the streets of major French cities at night is said to attract trouble. Just warning you.

Canada is nice, except it's too lonely for my liking.

Two of my siblings walked around in Paris all night, and they didn't have any problems.

Casual people then Note 'innit' was around before chavs, unless you wanna call my drunk Irish Nan a chav...heck unless you wanna me a chav, yeh innit, bruv, fink you iz wellard innit, say it to mah face, I'z bust you up allz like!

Yes anyway.

Quote: "a bunch of idiots that require education lol"


They have education. the education is just dumbed down, I wasn't exactly taught well in school, especially as my teacher in year 10 and 11 herself was a chav and was awful. They say A Levels and GCSEs are getting easier, that's wrong, they just taught worse with the bar lowering to the teaching quality of people.

Perhaps Sweden or Norway - apperently those are quite laid back countries and well they are the two top rich countries for the welfare of children (whilst England is at the bottom) so if you wanna raise kids, that's a good place. Canada isn't too bad either. If want something warmer and further south, Italy or Greece are places I'd have in mind. If I were famous, I'd go for Spain (So the media don't invade my privacy.)

Quote: "Yeah I love history. Friend of mine was telling me that once the Scottish went to Ireland to get help in defeating the English. Unfortunately it was the time of the potato famine over there and in the end the Scottish had to fight for food and there is even rumours of cannibalism. Nice. Dunno if true, but would great if it was"


don't see how cannibalism is 'great' but if you are talking about the 17th century potato famine then the Scottish migrants were 'encouraged' to live there by the English government.
In the 19th century at the time of the major potato famine a similar problem was occurring in the highlands of Scotland thanks to the highland clearances, leaving the Scottish with hardly any arable land, resulting in the need to grow potatoes.
The famines have long been criticised as a deliberate attempt by the English to weaken the Irish people due to a lack of proper aid
and in some cases have been likened to Genocide.
So if your saying that around 12% of the population dying as a result is 'great' then Im seriously shocked.
