Many people have been asking about the relative cost of living in the UK. The best example I can find of how good we have it here in Canada is this:
\nIt costs me about 45$ to fill my tank at a gas station in Montreal.
\nIn the UK, outside London, the same amount of gas would cost me about 103$.
\nGranted, one’s UK salary would be higher – but not proportionally. The daily pay for a school teacher outside London is about 90 pounds, or just over 200$. In the Montreal area, that teacher would make about 120$ a day. So gas is 2.3X more expensive, but the salary is only 1.7X higher.
