Did they hold a gun to your head, or threaten you with the sack if you didn't go? I was once offered work in Aberdeen, but decided self-imposed misery wasn't worth it so stayed in relatively temporal Manchester.
I'm sure former residents of say Auswichtz, or Russian salt mines, would find your attitude puzzling.

I got a nice lump sum and pay rise, expenses are paid for etc. But fuck it, winter isn't easy once the snow comes. I reckon I know what the German army must have felt like camped outside Moscow in their summer uniforms, and there weren't any Walmarts nearby to go shopping for the warm kit.  |
