| This is a link to an article in Daily Telegraph regarding ex pats returning from France -
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/3919057/Why-the-British-are-saying-au-revoir-to-life-in-France..html
Below is the last para which I am sure many will relate to -
Those who, out of genuine need or a nervous disposition, do "follow the pound" back to stricken, jobless and overpopulated Britain may find themselves regretting their decision. For other loyal Francophiles, the good life may be that little bit finer without so many of their countrymen to share it with. "It'll be a pleasure when people no longer roll their eyes when we tell them that our house is in the Dordogne," laughs Raphael. "Over a hundred years ago William Somerset Maugham said of the Brits: "They imagine that they are admired for their style and their moral superiority, just wait till the money runs out and then they will discover what the rest of the world really thinks about them." |
