... but it's not just London that is expensive - almost EVERYWHERE here is; ok, fair point ... London's probably THE MOST expensive of our cities in which to settle.

Also ... where ELSE is he gonna get 'Matalan' clothing if not ?

I'm British, but I might try that myself. I'll get a P&O foot ticket across the Channel, throw away my passport when I get to Calais, then forget how to speak Anglais

Nice try Englishman, but I doubt the subsequent life style would be your cup of tea.

You're right Terpe, I probably wouldn't, so I'll just carry on working hard and paying half of my salary in Tax and NI to keep these people....and with the remainder of my salary I'll pay another 20% VAT on everything I buy
