Mac's Poll - Let's Vote

Curious to know what the general opinion is? Cast your vote and let's see!!

POLL: Given the choice, where do you intend to spend your final days?
Friday, March 8, 2013 @ 10:41 AM

 

372 UNIQUE PARTICIPANTS first week of voting

 

This has been a Poll I've been thinking of doing for some time as it came up in a couple of threads last year and just this week I read a  blog post   by Sandra Piddock on the same topic which encouraged me to finally post the poll. There are so many people living here but are they living here permanently or part-time? When I say permanently I mean will they live here in Spain right up to the end and meet their maker here in sunny Spain or when the end nears will they feel the need to return to their roots, to be closer to loved ones or more "familiar" settings. I personally have been here so long it wouldn't cross my mind to return home, so I expect I'll do my last innings here in Spain if nothing changes. I know it sounds macabre but on a light note I'm sure it's crossed everyone's mind, what are your intentions? Please cast your vote? Are you in Spain for the long-haul?

If I knew where I would 'pop my clogs' I would not go within
a 1000 miles of the place.

Definitely agree with Midasgold! I voted for Spain, but if we were back in the UK for a vsit and I knew I was about to rap on the Pearly Gates, I wouldn't move Heaven and Earth to get back here.

Thanks for the honourable mention!

Most definitely stay in Spain, love it to bits here, all our neighbours are spanish and could not be nicer, from what we have found out so far the spanish health system takes a lot of beating.
Why would anyone want to spend so much to get back to England

Believe it or not there are other places than Blighty! I have lived very happily in the Netherlands since 1972, and about 3 months of the year in Spain since 2004 so it will be final destination Brabant, The Netherlands for me!

I only go back to that dark and dismal place, second only to the Brazilian rain forest, when I have to, Have lived on the mainland for 10 years and hopefully 1 year in my final resting place here in the Canaries. Still Spain but very different.
