Great British exports

[Rob Noxious]

Well, I never. "According to a new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the UK actually has a much greater proportion of citizens living overseas than any other European country."

Spread across Europe, not all huddled in a single country. There lies the difference.

The vast majority of Brits living abroad in Europe are to be found first in Spain and second in France.

The things you learn when you're looking for comedic value - Llivia, totally within France, is an exclave of Spain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llivia

So the original "joke" - bathroom & bedroom in France, kitchen & greenhouse in Spain. Sorted.

Never been but I'm told it's quite nice.Our next door neighbours used to have a second home there.(Think it's been sold now they've separated).

Ha! We do and a lot of Catalans have a second residence either on the Costa Brava or in the Spanish Pyrenees.Some even have 3 pads!

What I meant was that the vast majority of Brits abroad live in Spain.The second greatest number live in France.

Thank god there are Brits moving abroad otherwise our population would be even crazier.

The lucky ones got in early and went down under.

I am a proud Englishman, and I will never change my view that we bequeathed the world an unmatched inheritance. However, when even a supposedly Conservative government is happy to stand by and watch our great nation hurtling towards Islamic oblivion, I am happy to be elsewhere.

I've only been to Germany a couple of times - loved Munich but a bit indifferent about Hamburg - interested to know where you are and why you went.

There's many a village/town along the Rhine Valley that look idyllic. I remember Rudesheim being one but maybe I'm just remembering the name. As for great British exports I give you ..................
