1 - The access restrictions are ridiculous.
What do you want to add?
2 - you're quite close to the Scotch moaners
I've moved up to scotland, and while access laws are excellent, I'll probably end up moving back to Yorkshire when I'm done. Nowhere else mind, Yorkshire and Scotcheggland are best.
I thought scotland was in England?
3 There simply aren't enough midges in England or Wales
4 - No stalking season.
I'd hate not being kept off some of my favourite bridleways and byways by the local laird...
Ooops - I misread the thread title. You want reasons not to live in England or Wales?
If you're scottish you shouldn't live in England or Wales - else you'd have nothing to moan on about incessently trying to 'up' the place, because it needs it.
runs away giggling......
Too many mancunians and cockneys too.
5- Because people will laugh at you if you are skirt wearing man 🙂
Actually - despite being an Englishman through and through the problem with England that Scotland does not have, is national pride.
England has become a country of pc whingers and moaners. It's a great country with a great history but we've let it slip.
The scots on the other hand have taken a cold, wet miserable place to live, and been proud of it - and for that, my hat is off.
As for the Welsh - ****s!
Runs away giggling again......

rOcKeTdOg'S biggest fan - Memberoh dear, did you just call then scotch?
I understand they don't like it up 'em...

Hmmm, I did once work with a girl whose party trick was a stick a mars bar where cadburys never intended and invite any one in the vinicity to, well, help themselves to work, rest and play. And she was English...... (and no, I don't like mars bars!).
But the mars bar wasn't deep fried, so I stick by my assertion.
Scottish men are gruff, arrogant, almost over-compensatingly masculine.
Scottish women know how to attract the above.
The place is gorgeous though.
Look at the multitued of scum shit imigrants in and around London
So have been looking at this myself.

So, because of the migrants in the part of the world you live in...you want to move to another country?
😕
In support of gRANTway I think he was referring to the scotch living in London?
can you stop calling us Scotch.

Overcrowding (in much of England)
Class division and lack of social mobility
Xenophobia
Why do so many Scots leave Scotland?
Overcrowding (in much of England)
Yeah, England is generally full of Scots and Irish complaining about how crap they think England is. Be a much nicer place if it wasn't full of people whinging about how useless they think the place is...
8. cos people will not be intimidated by a 6ft streak o pish down here........ 😉
9) The dust really kicks up, what with our dry weather and all
10) You'll burn, see that thing in the sky, it's called the S U N. you'll need factor 500, being all pale blue and all...
11) Because no matter who you vote for, you always end up with a Tory government
Why do so many Scots leave Scotland?
cause they are open minded and love to travel spreading the good name and word of the Scots. It would be greedy and selfish if we kept all that love to our own wee land.

Add to that a population that would sell their own mothers for a few bob, a nation of complete mercenaries.

What do the Scots and piles have in common? easy to come down, hard to go back up. 😉
12) Because employment just takes up too much of your time.
Don't discount living in Wales until you've tried Wrexham.
Anyone in england considering a move North should give Wrexham a go before looking at Scotland. It's really great there. You'd hate it up here in Scotland. Honestly.
because lots of your money will go to keeping the scotch stocked up in cholesterol. The twin industries of whisky and moaning can't sustain an entire country.
Having a life expectancy lower than anywhere else in Western Europe must be a big draw 😉
dave_aber - MemberDon't discount living in Wales until you've tried Wrexham.
You've got to be kidding, right? The area around Wrexham, fine, but Wrexham itself, no way!!! 😈
I'm thinking of moving to the Scottish region as I'm 'kin sick of international football on the telly night after 'kin night
As a Scot & football fan, still living in Scotland, I loved that comment, absolutely brilliant.
The difference between you & us is we know we're shite, you on the other hand think you're not.
BTW don't come here if you are not Ginger, you will stick out like a sore thumb & we'll know you your a FEB. 🙂

now I know Jack S**t about football but I believe England were in the last 8 in the world cup for at least the last couple of times
Top 8 in the world - is that shite?
Loving this thread! I was going to put something about the problem with England/Wales being full of windgers but this is far more entertaining. Especially the international football - bring on the World Cup 🙂
Keep it up guys 🙂
[i]Why do so many Scots leave Scotland? [/i]

We'll see 😆
Like I said we know we're shite & we're quite happy to admit it, you seem to think you are world beaters & deserve to win the World Cup cos you have the best league in the world, but take away the foreigners & you would have to watch "Come Dine with Me" repeats on a Sunday afternoon.

No we don't - we think we're around top 8 😀

I've moved up to scotland, and while access laws are excellent, I'll probably end up moving back to Yorkshire when I'm done. Nowhere else mind, Yorkshire and Scotcheggland are best.
I do like the mountains of Scotland, but the relative accessibility and cosiness of the Peaks.
However, to say the Scottish are not whingers and moaners is absurd. They have their fair share (think loads of unfunny and serious Franky Boyles)
Bet these guys in the photo went out & partied after though. 🙂
English supporters believe everything the media tells them & expect too much, I blame Nintendo etc. for the demise of British football, just watch as these African nations begin dominate in the next decade.
Since leaving the Highlands I've found I'm quite happy living in southern Scotland where the locals refer to it as England
Move to Scotland & your daughters can grow up to maybe be the nest Susan Boyle. 😆
SCOTCH EGGS ARE ENGLISH CREATED AT FORTNUM AND MASON,PICCADILLY,LONDON
Too much rain and cold weather -especially in summer!
(but at least we have seasons and appreciate the different scenary-never gets boring and no flies all year round)
Never too far from a trail centre when you want some instant gratification riding.
Kemback woods is instant gratification mafia. Erm, sort of.
You been playing in the snow at home yet? Was meant to go out today but the ice is covering everything.
Nope, still can't think of any........
if your thinking about coming up to scotland, dont. it good up here as it is, and you'll wreck it. 🙂

Don't get me wrong, I certainly enjoy a few trips up a year to 'use the facilities' and marvel at the quaint charms but certainly couldn't imagine leaving the comfort, affluence and sophistication of my locality for longer than a week or so.

One reason to not live in England. That and the depressing endless rows of identical houses that you can see from the motorways.
Not saying you don't get the same in Scotland of course, but seems to happen a lot more after you get past Northumberland
[i]....but seems to happen a lot more after you get past Northumberland [/i]
As do most things 😉
I don't think I could handle the lifetime of living off benefits that goes with living in Scotland
It just doesn't seem right 😉
Why is it?
The old celtic connection(french, scottish, irish & welsh) people
have a collective dislike of engerland?
lol, guess most of the previous posts in this thread answer that.
Usual middle class snobbery.
Uplink - for a country that apparently invented football top 8 is woeful. South Korea and Turkey have also been top 8 recently too...
hmmmmm, what a conundrum... weather, midges, motorway delays, houses that look the same, tories, wrexham, access laws, xenophobes, the right to dress how you like, access laws, stunning scenery and trails.
If only there was somewhere waaaay better than all three options, taking into account the above. And quite a bit closer to many of us.
Oh yes, France. 🙂
The title should read "Reasons not to live in England, Scotland or Wales" The whole place is now to overpopulated to be any fun..
