    France, the most beautiful women, best food and wine and everything you could want within easy reach.

    I love France and I have to agree about the woman.  French woman are very underrated in my opinion.

    Just under a week ago... probably the most georgous women I've ever seen in my life...was giving me french resting b*tch face while looking at my passport photo, and then back to me.

    I was gutted that we didn't quite hit it off.

    Told myself an internal lie afterwards.

    "She did fancy me...but she was trying to hide it. Didn't want to annoy her boss by flirting with me. I get it now".

    They are a bit 'fromagey' when the suns out.

    Q: Wheres the best place to hide your money in a French hotel?
    A: Under the soap, no French look there.

    For me it would have to somewhere like the US, Canada or Oz. They wouldn't the first choice if I had to pick somewhere to live but if I had to stay in one country for the rest of my life I'd get bored shitless in places like Majorca etc (as nice as they are to visit on holiday).

     There are 33 countries with which Britain does not have an extradition agreement: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Bhutan, Cameroon, China, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Mongolia, Namibia, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, UAE, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Yemen are all potential havens for British criminals.

    I would have to choose Dominican Republic out of those. Easy enough to hide amongst the transient tourist population without arousing suspicions. 
    Very tough one if it had to be from the non extradition countries! Think I would go for Japan.

    I agree with the sensible side of that.

    They also speak our language and the culture is at least familiar enough to what we are already used to.

    Might be more lonely...if elsewhere.

    So I am innocent of the crime?

    Easy, stiff upper lip. I stay in Blighty and prove my innocence.  

    Then, once done and I am a free man I say up yours to the authorities who have tried to stitch me up and head to New Zealand with the £167M Euro lottery winnings from tomorrows draw in my pocket.

    I've lived in France since 2006. Only regret is not going to the valley every 2 weeks.

    New Zealand!!!!

    Dont even need five seconds to decide
    I’ve alerted the police. You won’t make it out of the airport.
    Oh come on... there is plenty of room for me to hide - I'll go into the Fiordland National Park and you wont hear a peep out of me!!
    Getting through NZ airport security might be tricky. The best bet is to create a distraction by planting a vegetable or some soil on a few other passengers coming off the plane, that way the sniffer dogs and police will be distracted!

    Dominican Republic. Caribbean lifestyle and no threat of extradition.
    The scenario described is exactly what happened to me. I thought hard for 4 minutes 55 seconds and blurted out "Dominican Republic". Twelve years later and I am still here. I cannot think of anywhere I should have gone instead, though I have been tempted by Kenya and Haiti.

    Stig is wrong about no extradition, however. EU citizens do get extradited from time to time.

    * I see that MrOneLung says the same as Stig. It may be that the UK does not have the automatic right to extract UK nationals, but it must be that they can, with a good case, lean on the DR authorities to deport culprits back to their country of origin because Brits have been sent back duing my time here. Anyway, a fat bribe will get anything done on this island.
    I just Googled a list of countries without extradition and picked the one I fancied most. Most looked pretty unappealing for anything other than a quick jaunt to say I been there. I've no idea as to the accuracy of the list, but guess MrOneLung found the same one.
