I'm distrustful of that Forbes list as well. For instance, Japan isn't anywhere near as expensive as some people seem to think. Meanwhile France and Belgium more expensive than Sweden? 
Not surprised to see Switzerland at the top, but then if you live there, you earn Swiss wages and pay Swiss taxes. Swiss minimum wage is c.£15 per hour. Higher in some cantons.

i'm sorry, you obviously think it's a really important point you're making but i haven't the faintest idea where you're comparing the uk to.

other lists are available and perhaps you could cast your eye over some of the competitorsI'm distrustful of that Forbes list as well. For instance, Japan isn't anywhere near as expensive as some people seem to think. Meanwhile France and Belgium more expensive than Sweden?

this website here is quite fun to piss away a part of your very productive monday morning - it has rent & groceries etc price comparisons across countries and then it also has this, quality of life, where we come in just below Lithuania but better than the French.

why don't you ask instead of purposely showing oafishness?

there are also other areas you don't address - for example, what are you paid in comparison to the local median wage?

i didn't know you were one of littlebabyjesus's sock puppet accounts.
your Forbes list was bollocks, forget about my poxy salary, it's nothing. Are you an avid reader of Fobes?

if the forbes list is bollocks then go through the methodology they used and show me its shortcomings.

I just did, give you a fair few examples of how Seoul - a very rich City in East Asia - is way cheaper than Bristol/Manchester/Glasgow. Nevermind London.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me moving to a whole new country would be a massive life change, no matter the details of cost of living and so on. All of my friends that I've known years live here. My mum lives in Ireland and my dad in California, so I might see more of my dad if I moved to the US, assuming of course that I managed to obtain the kind of traumatic brain injury necessary for me to want to move to the US permanently.

no, you just said here's some cheap food, a cheap rail ticket and i pay fuck all income tax and rent. that isn't going through the methodology and pointing out its flaws. it's anecdotal evidence which wouldn't persuade a callow teenager

it's factual evidence which says that my necessary outcomes are way cheaper here than in the UK. You don't travel? You don't eat? You don't need shelter? You think you'd find a 60m squared room in central London for 200 quid? Stop being a bully. I know it's Monday and you're being a right grumpy sausage but...
200 dollars, not quid

I’d like to retire somewhere sunny but cheap and whilst I’m happy to try to learn another language I’d find it easier it if they spoke English

in the article with the list in it they describe how they arrived at their rankings. i have asked you to go back and tell me why you think the way they've done things is wrong. this is, i think, the third time i've asked: only to be met with blank incomprehension. your personal experience does not by itself invalidate the forbes list. if you can tell me where they have gone wrong i'd be glad to hear it but i am getting very bored of you thinking that repeating anecdotal evidence makes it more valid with each telling. it doesn't.it's factual evidence which says that my necessary outcomes are way cheaper here than in the UK.
