They aren't as good as they used to be. Either I've grown into a miserable adult with broken taste-buds or they changed 'em.
I like the UK because my family is here. Other than that the winter is miserable, I get hay-fever in the summer all my favorite things are illegal, over-regulated or unavailable.

I'd probably have to choose between relative economic stability or good standards of health/life expectancy.
Everyone likes good health and cash.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

The fact that the overwhelming majority of people don't seem to give two steaming shits what religion other people are.

That gays can marry
The immigrants can come here and settle without fear
That multiculturalism is alive and well
That we have a more or less good relationship with most of the world
That we have a sane voting system
That we have garneted the rights of transgender people
And now were finally going to fix the festering sore that is our abuse of the natives and give them justice
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

The best thing I love about Oz is ....
Oh, yeah, it doesn't have Trump in it!
And our famous 4 n 20 pies now have at least 15% beef in them!
I've actually acquired a love for lips and arseholes now after all these years!
