I feel I'm European I'm a remainer
0:02
absolute remainer
0:04
so as I'm concerned there are no
0:07
boundaries with you remainer
0:11
you know I honestly can't remember hello
0:18
and welcome back to english with real
0:22
teachers today i'm in my hometown
0:27
bedford i'm walking around by the river
0:30
and today we are asking the Bedford
0:32
public where would you emigrate to after
0:34
brexit probably island okay we've got
0:48
our family connections and I'm still
0:50
being EU so you know a couple of people
0:53
have moved to Island so it's probably
0:54
best bet yeah yeah well one country will
0:58
really like Italy lovely down there
1:01
okay somewhere warmer better weather
1:04
okay
1:05
for example what place comes to mind
1:07
expressible Seville all right well if
1:11
that is going to Spain that's we'd get
1:14
to Spain too because can't speak the
1:16
language a little
1:17
estudio espaƱol okay makes sense would
1:21
you then move to another place knowing
1:23
that it may be a different I wouldn't
1:28
get too severe okay that's right if you
1:32
were to emigrate yep you know post
1:35
breaks it yeah where would you go
1:37
somewhere in Europe I I mean I feel I'm
1:41
European
1:41
I'm a remainer absolute remainer
1:45
sorry as I'm concerned there are no
1:47
boundaries and you know I hate this
1:51
colonial British attitude that believers
1:56
seem to have
1:58
okay and because the reason why I go to
2:02
America because for the the different
2:04
changes seasons you know I was found in
2:07
LA one year and did you know it's quite
2:10
far south you have a kind of mild winter
2:13
there you know and so if you don't want
2:16
to like be in LA which has an Indian
2:18
summer you know like you know which
2:21
means that you get the Sun coming up and
2:23
then the Sun going back down again if
2:25
you don't want any new summer you can go
2:27
up to Oregon up to the Canadian border
2:30
and out further into Canada I just think
2:33
like we have a reputation that the older
2:36
generation are like the leavers and the
2:39
younger generation of the remain is I
2:41
don't think that's the case at all I
2:43
think that if you've traveled and you
2:46
know experienced other cultures you far
2:49
more of a sort of a citizen of the world
2:51
then somebody who's kind of like not you
2:55
can have a house stay in San Diego and
2:58
then a house up in not of Vancouver
3:04
Island or something like that in Canada
3:06
I make the American continent whereas
3:09
you could say that we can only get down
3:12
to st. sent eyes you know on in the
3:15
British thing you know in that sense you
3:17
know and not to Scotland if you were to
3:19
emigrate post brexit or before it
3:22
happens what where would you go I don't
3:27
think I would I would stay in the UK
3:31
because I think the UK has got an awful
3:33
lot to offer and so much of it that the
3:36
vast majority of people living here
3:38
probably don't have never visited if you
3:41
were to push me into overseas I would
3:43
possibly say
3:48
California Canada closer to home France
3:52
maybe Italy Europe somewhere probably
3:56
okay well they're lovely people the
3:58
Italians to get on with like you know
4:00
brush I go to an Italian hairdresser
4:03
light and I have been here kite lighting
4:04
nice on a chat with him you know he says
4:09
seeds are very nice but he was up here
4:12
during the war prisoner and when the war
4:18
finished the guard job in the brick
4:20
fields in in better you know they used
4:22
to bake bricks here right you know about
4:24
the million Anna nice chap but course
4:28
like everybody is cour old and I'm
4:31
getting old no I'm not get it no hey
4:37
guys hope you're enjoying the video
4:39
you'll see loads of vocab is popping up
4:41
in this video so that you can understand
4:43
these native speakers while they're
4:45
talking what I've done is put all of
4:47
that vocabulary into a lovely list of
4:49
flashcards so that you can revise this
4:51
vocabulary in your spare time just click
4:54
the link in the description box which
4:55
says flashcards and you'll get free
4:57
access to that vocabulary from France
5:00
and Italy what why did you go for them
5:01
and not someone like Spain
5:04
well I suppose Spain would figure too
5:07
but Italy everybody says how lovely it
5:13
is beautiful France I've been to a few
5:15
times so I suppose its familiarity learn
5:17
French at school yeah but as I say I
5:23
think I'd probably stay here okay but
5:26
you said England where where would be
5:28
like your top place a recommender oh my
5:32
goodness for your students to go to oh
5:35
my goodness the Lake District
5:37
Northumbria Cornwall Devon Dorset we
5:41
love Dorset that's a beautiful County
5:44
there's just so much out there but for
5:46
me they am the ideal place in Europe is
5:49
a place called Bordeaux right on the 45
5:53
degree line which is halfway between the
5:56
North Pole and the equator so they have
5:58
a way up about 51 here where we are
6:01
Bedford 52 in ab of Stonehenge you know
6:05
right
6:06
but Bordeaux is right on the 45 line
6:09
which means there's a nice nicely
6:12
balanced four seasons whereas here we
6:14
have a longer winter because it'd been a
6:18
bit north you know bit further north you
6:21
know same probably the price of property
6:23
would be with the fee the biggest factor
6:27
I mean I'd love the South of France who
6:29
wouldn't but you know Croatia's really
6:32
come up and a lot of the kind of Eastern
6:36
European country so experience something
6:39
different with you remain err
6:42
did you vote remain my parent you know I
6:44
honestly can't remember I honestly can't
6:48
remember but I think like everybody else
6:51
I think there wasn't enough information
6:52
out there yeah and I think probably now
6:56
if I was pushed I would probably stay
6:58
remain a difficult one I think leaving
7:00
perhaps opens and lots of opportunities
7:03
but likewise staying probably closes
7:07
some as well I don't know I'm not it
7:11
depends it depends on the individual you
7:13
know literally about what they might
7:15
like the cold weather the other people
7:17
might prefer baking hot you know it's up
7:20
to the individual you know yeah but to
7:22
live in Europe must I don't know why
7:24
people come to living in Britain if they
7:26
can live in Europe you know because they
7:29
can go right down to Spain and of course
7:32
up to just reading and everything like
7:34
it you know but it is it's a it's a very
7:38
personal thing such an individual's home
7:40
but if I was to take birth if I was I
7:43
have a choice if I was to come back and
7:45
reincarnate yeah because probably live
7:47
on the American continent
7:49
you know espana I would probably go to
7:57
maybe Majorca like the north of New
8:00
Yorker or the Basque Country really like
8:02
the best country I think him yeah very
8:05
nice very good people mountains
8:07
countryside gorgeous and what's he doing
8:10
