Moving to the U.K., Current work environment.

Living in the U.S. currently and will be relocating to the UK soon (next year). Just curious how bad/good the work scene is in the UK. with my skill set I haven't had a problem keeping a job here, even with the bad economy. I'll be living in the London area (north or west of London 20-30 min. out.)

Interesting all the negativity about the UK, why we Brits talk down our own country annoys the **** out of me. I know of a number of Americans (and other nationalities) who are perfectly happy here and even prefer it. If you feel that bad about the country then why live here? It may not be perfect but where is..

Got to agree with tony it does not really matter how good you are their are no forklift jobs available,a colleague of mine was made redundant with 25yr under his belt,he has tried since last December to get back into forklifts but could not get anything at all.
He has now took a non skilled job just to get some money in.
Although saying that i saw a job on the internet last night for a field service engineer,must be experienced on gas,diesel+electric 40hrs per week,and wait for it paying NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE!!!
Any takers?
