Umm not being bias but the UK is considered a good place to work, the pay is good, the quality of life is good. Not to mention the pound is still very strong

Not likely, but slightly possible depending on your conviction. The US Consular section in your country is the best contact. They may have a website you can email and ask or call.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

That one might hurt you. All you can do is try. Can't be told no until you ask.

I know in the states, after so long you can get certain crimes taken off of your record, not sure if this would be one, however you might try that there?

Don't come to Canada unless you like giving 1/2 your paycheck ot the government so fûckïng lazy asses can stay home all day on welfare...

In all honesty, if you are a qualified machinist check out the UN's job postings... they often have interesting postings in remotely dangerous areas for specialized labour and it pays VERY well.

A friend of mine who is a telephone linesman went over to Bosnia after the war there to rebuild the telephone infrastructure and made a killing. He was clothed, fed and made more money (tax free!) than his cushy union job here in Canada.

I was 2 steps away from going to Bosnia myself on a firefighting team (while the fighting was dying down), but things got too dangerous over there and the UN pulled the FF's out.

As for the conviction, you might seriously want to look into a pardon... such conviction can lock many doors when it comes to international travels.

Yes you could, not problem. 13 quid sterling an hour for a sparks isn't great!.
