been thinking of this too. Amsterdam or Rotterdam and not just for the bountiful supplies of pot and whores.
Every time I'm abroad I get a strange feeling we're getting screwed here in the UK. But I'm not sure how much use I would be in Holland, I can't speak no dutch and many dutch speak better english than me. So i'm not sure how much hope of employment i'd have. I worry that, before long, I'd end up in frilly undies, parading myself in one of those red neon windows.

hahahaha!!
If you ever want to move abroad, search a UK company in the country you would like go to and apply for a job. But you 're right: knowing Dutch (+ also french in belgium) are essential for living here. My neighbour is from Scotland and he managed to learn dutch in a year. He works for a UK company near Maastricht (NL) and lives in Belgium.

amsterdam and rotterdam are quit international, major language on the streets in amsterdam is imo mostly english. depending on your education and experience you might give it a shot...

I know, but if you wanna live in another country, communication will become easier if you can handle the country's language ...
