Anyway, I'm not too sure how people who leave the UK are counted - we certainly weren't when we upped and moved to Spain. And were we counted back in? No, I'm confident that we weren't.<br /><br />Not only is the infrastructure not up to the job of supporting an influx, but accounting systems which keep a tally of ins and outs doesn't work. It's a double set of requirements that our politicians can't fix.Brennighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553332352189636358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859304.post-80151802374908136802015-02-27T18:49:42.347+00:002015-02-27T18:49:42.347+00:00Toffeeapple - Yes, I am lucky, and I'm painful...Toffeeapple - Yes, I am lucky, and I'm painfully aware that it's down to M's life decisions that we can afford to rather than mine.kennamatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225115130792112915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859304.post-16808329325676630362015-02-27T17:39:10.691+00:002015-02-27T17:39:10.691+00:00All those choices, you lucky chap.All those choices, you lucky chap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859304.post-73076653535433263882015-02-27T07:40:41.537+00:002015-02-27T07:40:41.537+00:00Masher - Ah, it's just a revamped plan based o...Masher - Ah, it's just a revamped plan based on the fact that we were going to move north at retirement but have a holiday home in France. When it comes to retirement we'll decide whether to have both or just slum it. If M's daughters have dispersed all over the place there will be less impetus to buy here.
