Staying or Going?

Would you accept £1,000,000 (or the equivelant in whatever currency) to leave your Country and never set foot in it again?

Hhhmmm ........... I suppose that would very much depend on which Country you called your own !

I`m very sure that there are many , many , many people born into Countries with bad regimes that would happily turn their back on their own Country just to be able to escape from it in the first place , without the need for any financial inducements .

This is aimed at people living in a green and pleasant land.....

Not sadly for folk who would up and go the moment a door could be opened for them!

I'm sure many people would jump at the offer Rainbow, but I am quite happy to stay in the Country I was born and raised in, even if the powers that be F..... it up.

Re: Staying or Going?

No way. I love my country, City, neighborhood and house. Besides, a million pounds/dollars isn't what it used to be; moving expenses would eat up a big chunk of it as would resettling in the new country. The remainder wouldn't generate enough dividend income to live comfortably.

Despite the ruining of this country that Blair and Brown cast upon us this is still the best country in the world.

As you get older you learn that money is not everything, Health, Family, Social life mean far more than money so for me NO WAY JOSE'.

It would be no sweat to make my way back to dear old Scotland from England after being away for 45years. I'll take the Million, might just be able to get a round in!

No, I wouldn't leave England for any amount of money, and like Mags, I love coming home if I have been away for holiday........
