One West Indian man who came in 1946 I think to study and then go home is still here I used to chat to him at the Gym, so I think he was healthy enough to travel home
He mentioned the country he had known had changed so much as had his friends and family back "home" and had bulit up relationships with his family and friends here he didn't want to lose. His sons and daughters would not leave and he said he didn't want to miss his grand chilldren growing up..
People deciding where to retire in thirties years I belive are counting there chickens i belive.
30 years ago 1979 the Phillipines was very different to today as was the UK.
But of course you have to plan today for the future. But how much will your British pounds be worth in thirties years?
