Do you have any figures to support this? Of the people I have known in real
life rather than in this group more have gone to France, Spain or Portugal
than English speaking countries. Of course several of them have been oilmen
who have been able to continue their employment from those countries. Those
who have gone to the USofA have gone for a limited period- often two years.

I've never seriously considered any alternatives to Scotland. I wish I'd
done the travelling thing when I was younger, before becoming responsible
for other people, but only as a temporary arrangement- not permanently.
