    Hello to everybody on here.....

    Just a short message to introduce my self, i am Jim and i work in London as a black cab driver for about 5 months of the year and the rest of the time is spent with my partner Weng and our kids in Las Pinas Manila, no plans at the moment to relocate to the UK, we are both happy where we are but hope to get married within the next year or so. Glad i checked this site out it seems to have lots of useful information, hope I can make a decent contribution here as well.

    Welcome to the forum Jim.

    I don't know, you can't find a taxi-driver for love nor money, and then they show up in pairs.

    Hello, Jim ... since you're dividing (or should I say "taxi~ing"? ) your time between and the Phils presumably it's [normally] the British "summer" months you spend here and the other seven in Manila!

    Anyway ... good to see you & Les have acquainted yourselves already ... the pair of you will soon be "comparing notes"!! to our joint filipino/uk site, and goodluck with your future plans.

    Ah ... wise man! I NOW note you've decided to go back to warmer climes before the need for anti freeze - not to mention WD40 to disperse the painful effects of 'Jack Frost' and his wintry talons on your window panes - so we wish you Bon Voyage, and look forward to your forthcoming contributions from da Pinas.

    Welcome Jim

    My wife is from CAA....We and baby James are currently settled here in Swindon, not far from the great metropolis.

    Sounds if your in a good situation Jim...splitting your time between both.
    The best of both worlds....uk income...philippine living expenses...a very enviable position.

    Good for you Jim.....dont ruin it by rushing here. Except to get your wife citizenship
