I suppose they do. In the case of the OP he moved to the country, found out
that it meant not having shops open 24/7 right on his doorstep( surprise),
wages are low ( duh well why do you think house prices are low too) then
moaned that the people where he moved were not nice and is moving back to
the city. Having met dozens if not scores like him you are right, I have no
empathy and fail to comprehend why everyone is sooo sympathetic. I tell it
how I see it and no doubt am typical of the nasty mean country people who
got fed up with his moaning about living in the country *he* chose to move
to.
