There is no way I could get the same job I have now and earn the same here as I do in London (to be fair, taking into account the fact that I have 3 kids, and - maybe that's inappropriate - expecting the same standards of living in terms of neighborhood, housing and schooling (not even considering healthcare with my particular situation))

There's no way I could earn as much in London as I do here in Paris, on a net (after housing and schooling) basis.

I thought it was brutal compared to the US a decade ago but now it's unreal.  

Maybe if all your skilled folk run away, I can get a retirement job in Paris with my 100 words of schoolboy french?  I promise not to talk loud and wear white sneakers and shorts.
