Cash–strapped nations still appeal

Countries currently facing financial problems are among those that fed-up Britons would consider moving to, according to a survey.

Spain, Italy and Portugal are all in the top ten of destinations most coveted by those dissatisfied with life in Britain, the poll by flight comparison site Skyscanner found. Australia was the country Britons would most like to live in, followed by Spain, the US, Canada and New Zealand.

As many as 88 per cent of the 1,167 people polled said they would consider moving abroad within the next five years.
