Which part of the UK do you live in then? Surely it mustn't be an inner city. Let me know and I'll move there, I bet it's not Sunderland! This country is swimming in immigrants with no regard for British law or decency. I'll grant you, South Africa is probably worse (my relatives came back to the UK from there only recently), but the UK is not what it was ten or fifteen years ago. The Human Rights Act and Labour have a lot to answer for.

I spent the first 45 years of my life in South Africa and travelled extensively for the last 25 of those, including visits to the UK, the US and most of Europe. In 2003 I relocated to the UK and have never looked back. I discovered a kind and tolerant society, job opportunities that were previously denied to me due to age/race/gender and absolute freedom of movement and a sense of safety. Not so back in South Africa. On returning for the funeral of my father, I have found a society bitter, disillusioned and bent out of shape by the ravages of past injustices, poverty, and greed. Over 50 murders, 150 rapes, 340 armed robberies per *day*. Not to mention the hundreds of vehicle hijackings, cash-in-transit heists and blown-up cash machines. I won't even mention the atrocities against children, some as young as 3 months old. Then there is the maniac just to the north in Zimbabwe "running" a country with 100,000% annual inflation. Does not bode well. Life in the UK is not easy but if one is prepared to work hard, it can be pretty comfortable [in my experience]. p.s. Folks in the US: I did enjoy Boston (visited several times while I worked for Wang) and Seattle (visiting family) ;-) On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 2:16 AM, Rankin, James R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Don't suppose you're willing to sponsor work permit applications are you?
