Blimey who would have thought it?

have to say I wouldn't choose Iceland. I used to go up that way in the early '70s and a bigger bunch of misery gut long faces I'd never seen!! 'Course that might have had something to do with the fact that Brits weren't terribly welcome (We used to help ourselves to Cod and they had long memories of the War - they preferred Germany you see?).
Cost of living is enormous, too. Any idea the cost of a pint??

Oh, and BTW it's dark all Winter and light all Summer.

Re: Where in the World is the best place to live?

Iceland has a certain basic appeal, looking at the pictures. What then, when you tire of boobies(tropical birds) bobbing about, with old volcanic geysers? I'm shrivelled as it without being immersed for lengthy periods.:

Hi somewhere in the Greek Isles most likely it would have to be Corfu. It,s the best of both worlds it,s like England but with the laid back out of the rat race life style.

Boring Re: Where in the World is the best place to live?
