The UK must be in bad shape, judging by the massive migration out of the country. Some of that migration is actually due to the desire to cash out housing bubble equity and move elsewhere.

Certain towns in Spain have doubled the number of residents in a few years, with 90% of newcomers from the UK. Complaints you hear from British expats focus on declining services, overcrowding and high living costs. They don't even mention the weather !

I know it firsthand since i maintain a summer home in one such town in the Costa Blanca region of Spain.
