HAD ENOUGH, WHAT TO DO ?

I wouldn't recommend moving to Scotland. If Jimmy Crankie gets her way you'd be living in a third world country in a few years.

The world's your lobster. You could sell your house in that there fancy London. Buy two houses in most other places, rent one out for an income and live in the other. Buy a boat in the Caribbean and do fishing charters. Move to Australia, New Zealand, America wherever, and use the house money to set yourself up there. Get a pilot's license and operate a small plane in Alaska. Set up a retail business and live above the shop in a small tourist/market town like Malvern selling books and coffee.

Basically you're only going to be limited by your imagination. (y)

New Zeland here.. Pretty sure I can take the liberty of speaking for a whole country..

Average house price at the moment is about $400k which might be about £220k ish

Cost of living is absurd, BUT quality of life is ok. Lots of coastline and you are never more than an hour and a bit away from the coast.

Employment as a Plasterer is good in most major centres. Lots of Irish plasterers in Christchurch since big earthquake a few years back. Auckland is busy, but its terrible traffic. Im in Hamilton, and service the surrounding districts in the region.

Met a spread from Liverpool out at a job in Raglan the other month, mate of the Builder, came and scoped my work out. That guys bought boxes and is doing new build timber framed plasterboard tape and joint and seems to be making a living.

I do domestic redo mostly, probably about 25% skimming.. trying to teach myself a more European technique.. anyway..

There's opportunities for stuff if you can bankroll your set up and doing business here is pretty simple.

The part of town I live in was predominantly founded by Irish settlers and the English oversaw that. My old Dad is from Derry and has Friends and Family on both camps there. He came here in the 60s after talking to the village idiot who had emigrated before WWI, then got conscripted, survived a bloody massacre and got sent 'Home' shellshocked after the infirmary in Britan..

I'm rambling..

Anyway, it's worth a look,it might tickle your fancy. If you do head over look us up.

Cheers
 
I'm with you @Kitchy what them bloody scots do for us anyway [emoji12]

Wha's Like Us - Damn Few And They're A' Deid


The average Englishman, in the home he calls his castle, slips into his national costume, a shabby raincoat, patented by chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow, Scotland. En route to his office he strides along the English lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland.

He drives an English car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop of Dreghorn, Scotland, arrives at the station and boards a train, the forerunner of which was a steam engine, invented by James Watt of Greenock, Scotland. He then pours himself a cup of coffee from a thermos flask, the latter invented by Dewar, a Scotsman from Kincardine-on-Forth.

At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by James Chalmers of Dundee, Scotland.

During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh, Scotland.

At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, blacksmith of Dumfries, Scotland.

He watches the news on his television, an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland, and hears an item about the U.S. Navy, founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.

He has by now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the Bible only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot, King James VI, who authorised its translation.

Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots.

He could take to drink, but the Scots make the best in the world.

He could take a rifle and end it all but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick of Pitfours, Scotland.

If he escapes death, he might then find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, which was discovered by Alexander Fleming of Darvel, Scotland, and given an anaesthetic, which was discovered by Sir James Young Simpson of Bathgate, Scotland.

Out of the anaesthetic, he would find no comfort in learning he was as safe as the Bank of England founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland.

Perhaps his only remaining hope would be to get a transfusion of guid Scottish blood which would entitle him to ask "Wha’s Like Us".
