Thanks Arthur Yes, I'm loving it here and it's great spending time with my girl knowing I don't have to say goodbye in a week

I've heard long term expats moaning here about the politics back home, and my response was the same as yours. But with the pound sliding they're noticing a real difference in how far their money goes here, so of course, Mr Brown gets the blame. That said, I've heard many are claiming they're heating allowance from our generous government whilst here in the tropics
