Sadly it's been like that for generations.

Something that has been going on since the Industrial revolution. I have traced my family history and my family moved from Strontian to Bradford at the start of the revolution for better opportunity.

A lot of my early family left Ireland to go to the USA and the UK,as it was a better option than starving!What I find amusing is that second generation "migrants"have returned to my moms village from the USA quite wealthy,and bought the "best" properties on a hill overlooking the sea.The locals now resent this and it is called Yanks Hill.
Cant bleedin' win,eh.
