The trouble, not just for immigrants, but for all of us, especially if of a certain age, as I am. No place exists as it used to. The England of my childhood - you can get a flavour of it in Miss Marple films - ceased to exist years ago.

I agree. If you talk to your grandparents they talk of "the good 'ol days." When actually if you do historical research, "the good 'ol days" were not really so good. My grandparents grew up in the Great Depression. My parents during WWII. So what was it that was so good? Perhaps family ties were stronger. But economically speaking the rest was in the toilet.
