    Oh come on, poeple do not move to the USA on the basis fo watching a TV show, if they do, then they are beyond help. I am a member if the same forum, its not quite that simple. This show in particular does not glorify living in Florida and pretty much showed it how it is. I have known quite a few folks who made the move to florida and the had to return, 99% of the time it is usually down to their own fault and simply not doing enough homework. That includes myself, we didnt quite do enough homework on health insurance cover, although we were lucky enough to get 5 good years out there.
    Just about everyone who visits Disney world will consider moving to Florida, its only natural, who would not wnat to live in the place they spend thousand on visiting for just 14 days each year!

    Martin...I deal everyday with people who have had their lives pulled apart because they watched shows like that and thought it was easy to make the move.......I've been doing that for 6 years now....living everyday with the heartbreak the pain...the unhappness...everytime a show like that comes on TV my mail box and the forums I'm on are full of people wanting to make the move who have not hope of ever doing so..or try and lose everything because they will not take advice etc..so yes...I know what those shows do without having to watch them....

    we ate at sherlocks this past march, the cakes in the window tempted us in[msnwink] and once through the doors the smell of fresh baked scones had us hooked [msnsmile2]
