I can't understand that. The Daily Mail assures me that out country has an open door to foreigners who want to come here and exploit our generous welfare system.

Yes Bristol is nice (apart from the areas destroyed by a combination of modern architects and the Luftwaffe). The west of England (where I come from) is my favourite bit. Though I suppose I would say that wouldn't I. Did you look at Dublin, my daughter is thinking of applying there to do a masters.
