Why should I move to YOUR country?

[Idaho]

I have always been fascinated with England, even if I am confused by the various names (great britain, england, united kingdom, british islands: which is what?). America is her child in a way. I certainly respect the British allaince with America. I have said in other threads that I will die for a Brit in duty as if he were an American.

The cost of living has me concerned. Is a home and a bit of land very expensive? It doesn't need to be too close to a huge population center, but I don't want to drive 5 hours to a market either.

Britain is the main island of the British Isles. Great Britain is a geographical term to include Britain plus the small islands immediately next to it. Britain consists of three countries - England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Island is included to make the United Kingdom or Britain and Northern Ireland - aka the UK.

Imagine England is North Carolina
Britain is Mainland USA
Great Britain is Mainland USA including Rhode Island and the Florida Keys
UK is all of the US including Alaska and Hawaii

Calling Britain 'England' is a big no-no when there are Scots and Welsh about. Like calling a Texan a 'yankee'.


I think the biggest problem you are going to have in moving countries is the cultural differences. You sound to me like a dyed in the wool yank!
