Whats british and phill food?
Eating chicken or pork, rice and gravy is that phill or british?
Eaten it in both countries.
Some phill foods i would rather not eat some, i get along with and others i think are brillant.
In the UK many people from abroad never eat "british" food but many who have been here a while and were fairly young when first here, mainly seem to eat a more british (ie foods and ingredients from all over the world) food whatever you call that.
If i moved to Phill it would only be for the Wife, hoping to move with my Company either to Hong kong or Phill. How much you would need depends on how long you plan to live there.
As the world turns upside down a British state pension may not go very far in Asia in 20 or 30 years time.
