    Here two years now without any UK pension to rely on..(Far too young for heavens sake)
    The thought of having to go back to the UK where I would have to work for a living sends shivers down my spine!!
    I couldn't possibly have the perks that I have here back in England and I am no longer prepared to do without them..Thoroughly spoiled and loving it.
    Just built my wood burning oven that gets up to 900F on pizza nights..I can cook a family sized pizza in 59 seconds!!
    In the UK the carbon tax would kill me.
    Still love the UK and I might be back for the Olympics and a bacon sarny... only for 2 weeks mind!

    Regards,

    Fred.

    PS...Brand new cars are pretty cheap now.

    Fred.

    Just collected my first remittance as an OAP, Fred. I can see, from reading your posts, that you're a happy man ... having obviously adapted well to the Filipino lifestyle. And that's great!

    But how do you cope without seeing much of your immediate family in the UK ... ?
