Sweden is a much better place to live from my experience. I haven't lived in the others, but from what I've been told Scandinavian countries are still the "gold standard" compared to others, although they have suffered from privatization and globalization as well.

You might be right about that: we'll see.

Cheers! Where are you from in the UK, by the way? North of England, I guess?

Until the age of 10, I grew up in Essex. Then moved to Norfolk, where I lived until I was 29 (with three years in North London from 89 to 92). Been in Latvia since then.
