Default America or the British Isles?

Where would you rather live and why?

i think living in Alaska is not the same as in Florida or Wyoming and South Central LA

so you would need to be more specific

Its like asking an american if they would like to live in Europe and then booking them a one way to Albania when in their head it was Paris

Only a handful of countries make up this part of the world but all but Ireland make up a unit. It might not be the fairest comparison but even at that there are still arguments for and against either side.

I did live in London and Boston for a time and I found it much harder in Boston, I found the people much harder to relate to, having said that the vast majority of the people I was friends with in London weren't even British, they were Canadian, Australian, Danish, Swedish etc I only made one very good friend who was actually from London

I voted the US because I really have outgrown the UK.
London is too small for a man of my caliber at this point.

Yeah I was friends with a lot of Canadians while working in London, I found their humour much more similar to ours, also they could understand me very easily, for some reason Americans never understand what I'm saying and my accent isn't even that strong, it's weird

Aside from the hatred, bigotry and all around dickness of the US, it’s got some lovely looking places to live, I can envision myself living in LA at some point when I’ve got nothing left to stay here for

Both.

Live here at home but have a holiday home in the hills above LA with an infinity pool looking out over that city skyline.

Oh and Americans >>>> Canadians

I know people always say American people are rude and Canadians aren't (as a stereotype) but I actually feel like it's totally the other way round

I wouldn't say Americans (or those that I've met) are rude, I just always found Canadians more relatable and have better senses of humour (or more similar sense of humour)
