Chris Barker's opinion that he "likes it here [in blighty] " strikes me
as being said from the heart and beyond criticism, and speaks to what
makes someone genuinely satisfied with their surroundings. Nicely said I
feel.

Been gone over 40 years and have rarely regretted the move. When I first
returned for a spell, in 2004, I had to learn to be English again. No-one
understood what I was talking about (the idiom differs). It struck me as an odd
place with bad weather, terrible traffic and worse coffee. I shall remain an
occasional and mildly amused visitor.

I’ve spent my life away from the UK; I like it here, now that I have settled
again. And if you retire abroad you are likely to be stuck with a load of
old expats :-)
