a few more on reflection.....................

no fear of being stopped by the police and being fined a ridiculous amount of money for a ridiculous or non existent offence

banking system that works instantly and effciently with sufficient and attentive staff and a fraction of the charges if any.

customer service even in a humble supermarket was superb-checkout opened just for me,bags packed,sorry for yor 30 second wait sir- wtf i nearly fainted.

no-one shouts in normal conversation

one phonecall one job sorted.
