I used to work in NY above Grand Central and commuted from Jersey City. Couldn't get out of there fast enough, absolutely hated it. Freezing cold as well, the wind used to cut through my head and for the first time in my life I had to buy a wooley hat.

Portland, Oregon is better, but then it gets quiet. As for driving, all you do is drive in a straight line come to some lights and stop. Then drive in a straight line again. Gets a bit boring after a while. No roundabouts, no parallel parking you might reverse once a month. Not for me though, I'm done with the US of A.

Completely agree with your sentiments Guffer.I only spent a couple of weeks in the U.S,and I was changed from a very reluctant tourist to wanting to stay there.We were in New Hampshire and fell in love with the place and its people.The scenery was beautiful,the place was spotless and I was stunned by how cheap everytrhing was.NYC was obviously quite different but I found most of the people friendly and felt much safer walking through times square at midnight than I ever would walking around Piccadily Circus.
We odten take the pee out of the yanks for their "have a nice day" attitude but they still believe in good customer service,something this country has largely forgotten about.

I have had good service today - in a farm shop and a butchers.

SUpermarkets in general are not good for customer service especially the biggest one

It has to borne in mind that your reasons for migrating must be positive. You should be a ble to pin point exactly what you like about the new place that you wish to migrate to. Being sick of the UK as a reason is a very dangerous game to play as when you will soon begin to discover negatives in the place you've got too. It will then become a same sh*t different bucket scenario.
