I know you weren't asking me but since I did it I will throw in my two cents/pence.

My husband was the main reason I came here but now even if we split up (which I am pretty sure we never will do) I would want to stay here.

Some of the reasons -

A sense of world perspective:

- Yes there are people just like in the States and elsewhere that are insular but it is a lot less common. Most people atleast have a working knowledge of international geography. This is particuarly the case in London, where I live.

- The news reports things that happen in the rest of the world in the main bulliten even if there wasn't a British person involved. Mind you, if there is a British person involved it moves up the list.

Whimsy -

- This country largely knows when to take things seriously and when to take the piss out of them.
