Ever considered NZ? It's one of the few places I would consider moving to, talked about it with the Mrs several times and she is also keen.

Someone I worked with was married to a Kiwi and went out there 6 years ago, he came back after 2 years (divorced) went back out but is coming
'home' again.
The Kiwis, just like the Aussies don't like us very much in their country. (oh the irony )
Best mate from school went to Aus, is very successful, but says the same, pommies are resented, especially if they are successful.
Canadians however, in my experience, are nice people who seem to like the English. They are even proud of their sovereignty connection. Unlike a large
portion of the UK, who are continually bitching about Queeny and her family. But I guess thats another topic
The reckless man may not live as long......
But the cautious man does not live at all.....

No bitching about the Brits while I was out there. In fact we (as a nation) tended to do very well out there, for various reasons.

Speaking as an Australian, I'd say that any negativity towards pommies here would be directed at those who can do little but complain about how
Australia isn't England. (cue Monty Python voices: "Oooh, it's so hot. And they don't make the tea properly. And I
can't get Wotney's Red Barrel.... etc, etc)
Anyone willing to come here and accept that Australia is Australia and not some sort of poor replica of England, USA, or anywhere else will be fine.
Whining Poms get told to f*ck off back to England if it's so dammed good!
Seriously though, there's enourmous amounts of space, the weather's pretty good e.g. it's the middle of winter here and I
haven't needed to wear a coat during the day for about two weeks. Daytime maximums have been around 21C, overnights down to 8 or 9.
Come for a holiday, stay for a lifetime
