Living on crowded little island where rural property is more expensive than city housing makes it difficult to 'get away'.

Most towns and cities are small and people quickly get to know a lot about you.

The laws are becoming more punitive by the year - especially against men.

The UK is still very much a class based society; its much more who you know than what you know.

I envy North American brothers who have the ability to traverse a large land mass and the opportunities which that gives you.
