My rant for the week.
I lived abroad as an expat for many years, I was educated abroad, worked abroad, got married (twice) abroad, yet in all the time I was in a foreign country I adopted it's culture, lifestyle and lived the way of life expected there....until this was no loner acceptable.....then I moved.
What gets me, is the number of foreigners here, having decided to leave their country of birth and take up residence in the UK , some on working holiday visas, some on work permits, some on ancestry visas....and what do they do....they whinge and bitch and moan about how crap the UK is, brag that when they get UK citizenship, the maroon passport is their ticket out of here....
I really must ask, do we really want such people here, do we really want people like that presenting themselves abroad , or at home for that matter as citizens of the United Kingdom?????
As my youngest would say...." I don't think so!"

I am an expat too. I feel the same way about other expats here. If they don't like it, why don't they go back to their own country?
I like it here! I want to stay here! I have only good things to say about being here! If I didn't, I would leave!
