I had a conversation with a gentleman from England this week and oddly enough we chatted about this. He claims we are worked like dogs here compared to there, I had often thought that was maybe why the european machines don't seem to hold up to well here which he agreed with. I have also worked in the trade with 2 people from Europe who came here to fix forklifts, one man went back after a year and the other guy went back after two. It's not it's all cracked up to be.

I would suggest you try it somehow first before making that commitment. Good luck with everything!

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
