Default If you had the power to move the British isles to a new location on the globe...

If you had the power to move the British isles to a new location on the globe would you move it and, if yes, where would you move it to?

I read about people over there complaining about Europe and the weather. Maybe they'd like to move it next to a warmer climate in the Caribbean or next to Hawaii? We could be neighbors! How cool would that be?

I'd move it to the nearest wall I could bang my head against repeatedly.

Nowhere. Because then we'd be a Hawaiian island or whatever and not Britain if that makes sense.

I'd move it to a black hole, or alternatively the bermuda triangle.

Be a little adventurous. How about you have the power to move it somewhere for a few years and then move it back if you don't like it.

That's more like it. I can keep moving it every few months.

I get sick of the rain, we go to Hawaii, get sick of the sun we go to Alaska etc.

I would leave it where it is. Any further south we would be plagued by droughts & disease. Any further west we would be plagued by hurricanes & tornadoes. Any further north we would freeze. Further east we would by destroyed by tsunamis & earthquakes.

We are in a perfect position unlike America, Australian, Africa, China, India, Japan or Southern Europe.

I would move Scotland to the Antarctic - it is just as freezing, unpopulated & desolate.
I would move Wales to the Himalayas - nothing but mountains & a few animals.
I would move Ireland to New Zealand - green & inhabited by mad-faced, strange dancing Maoris.

I would send you to Iraq:

Despite its rich history and its oil reserves, it is a ruined nation that is wracked with violence, despair and confusion. Since 2003, the United States has occupied Iraq which has led to a civil war claiming the lives of more than 650 000 civilians. Al-Qaeda, Sunni insurgents, Shiite security forces, Kurdish rebels, American soldiers, Turkish troops and criminals are involved in a cycle of violence that unfortunately, will not abate any time soon. Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs) and mines are a constant threat, as are suicide bombers who have slain hundreds. Kidnappings and random killings are reported with almost mind-numbing frequency. Since 2003, 2 million Iraqis have fled to neighboring countries and another 1.9 million in Iraq remain internally displaced. Depleted uranium used as armor-piercing rounds will poison Iraqi civilians and US servicemen for decades. Truly, a hell on earth.
