espana: costa del sol is ruined
Being particularly keen on Mediterranean flora, I would say that much of the Costa del Sol has been ruined by the tourist industry, a tourism industry that (correct me if I'm wrong) was started under Franco. Littoral habitats have been destroyed under concrete, and even more is still threatened.
sapphire: It makes me sick that many Brits cant be bothered to learn the lingo
One of the reasons I've never been particularly tempted to go to Spain. A neighbour of mine has a son who lives and works in a fairly touristy part of Spain. He speaks fluent Spanish and runs a hairdressing business, catering for both Brits and Spanish people. So some DO learn the language and integrate, but this chap does print two sets of business cards: some in Spanish, some in English for all the retards out there.
ParisJazz: My guess is that most of the ones who are going back r the ones who never managed, or never tried, to get used to the system in the UK and who've always kept a foot back in Poland anyhow.
Some will most certainly those who thought it would be handed to them on a plate but then failed. Others will be those who have done well, picked up some new ideas whilst abroad, and will return home with a fresh look at life and work in Poland.
