Hi Stewart,
go for it man as people say treat it as a holiday and have no expectations, go with the the flow.
YOu should receive good income for your house by renting it out. (550 - 600ish a month for Peterhead.........(if you were the Inverurie side of Aberdeen i would have been talking to you more
As for the NHS, as you still have a house there you would still get the treatment no problems on your return. (i believe), questions would only really be asked if you were sent back under medical supervision.
I have been none resident for six years now and when i go back I always have a check up at the docs. (andwhats ever needed is covered, (they even let me have one fo those 10 pound prescription things for the 3 months. They wouldnt refuse to treat you on that basis anyway.
on a more light hearted not from some of the posts, i got sent this the other day...
I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing “fairly well” for my age. (I just turned 60.)
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, ”Do you think I’ll live to be 80?”
He asked, “Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?”
“Oh no,” I replied. “I’m not doing drugs, either!”
Then he asked, “Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
“I said, “Not much. My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!”
“Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?” “No, I don’t,” I said.
He asked, “Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?”
“No,” I said.
“Then, why do you even give a sh*t?”
