NGL, not asking for a friend. Given the current trends in US politics, it seems prudent to at least look into it.

Most of the online content on the topic seems to be by immigration attorneys hustling ultra rich people. I’m not ultra rich. I have a job in tech, could work remotely, also have enough assets to not desperately need money if the cost of living were low enough.

I am a native English speaker, fluent enough in Spanish to survive in a Spanish speaking country. I am old, male, cis, hetero, basically asexual at this point. I am outgoing, comfortable among strangers.

What’s good and bad about where you live? Would it be OK for a outsider, newcomer?

    Now we’re talking. I have been to the UK quite a bit, and work with plenty of Brits here, so:
    Americans are not generally in the habit of addressing people as “you fuckers” until we know you better. :)
    UK supermarkets are more like US conveniences stores with more food and no fuel pumps in front. They are OK.
    Agreed, the existence of anything besides London, Liverpool, and maybe Manchester is totally a blank to us. Went to Birmingham, had no ckue.
    Butter on bread is the only way, don’t know where you got that from.
    No reason you guys should care about US history. English history is much more interesting.
    Engkish pubs are good. Beer, I think, has gotten better in the US recently.
    After Brexit, the UK has permanently renounced the right to criticize anyone’s politics. Still, recent developments there give me hope that it’s possible to come out the other end of this.
    Thank you.
