To boot, now you may get shot at by the police who do not look like the police to you! Singapore, Here I comeAnonymous wrote:I moved from London at the end of April and so far, I'm very happy here. Other than family/friends, I'm not missing the UK at all. 80% of London is a crime-ridden, rat-infested toilet these days (make that 100% for East London)
As Niell points out, everything is much, cheaper than the UK, apart from beer. I'd say food (eating out, haven't bought any in the supermarket yet) is about a third of the cost, taxis probably one fifth of the cost of London. What I pay for my apartment in a month, reckon it would cost a week in London. Try to make do without a car though, they cost a fortune, but u really can get by without because taxis are so cheap.
Your timing is excellent too. The UK is heading for the mother of all house price crashes and subsequent recession. It's gonna be a bleak, bleak place once people realise that just selling expensive houses to each other has actually not made the nation any richer in the slightest, but left with the highest personal debt levels in the world.
And Brown and Blair are making it 10x worse by wasting huge amounts of public money. It makes me weep.
They'll all be eating beans on toast.
Still, not to worry, I'm here now
