I love the British, at least the educated ones. If I had to pick one place to live if it couldn't be the United States, it'd be there. That or Australia.

Australia would have been great when you could still have guns! :)

I've only visited the UK once (Bath/Bristol region).
Among the fifty or so academics I met (professional colleagues), many would
eventually bring up their hatred of conservative British politicians.
They thought Lady Thatcher was the Anti-Christ. (well, at least the few that
had contact with Christian culture, I suppose.)
The one memorable departure from these diatribes occurred on a visit to
a postal shop in Bristol.
Incidentally, the fellow running the shop learned I was from "flyover country, USA".
The good fellow energetically bent my ear with questions about the Old West,
Native Americans and "heartland America" culture/legend.
If I ever get back to England, I can tell you who I will seek out
to buy a few pints at the local pub.
PS: the other destination: Alberta.
If any province of Canada ever breaks away and joins the USA...that will be the one.
(and then BC will follow as well...as part of "Greater California)
