Sorry guys, was being a bit a devils advocate to promote some thoughts. I genuinely think it would be difficult under Human Rights to say that if you can afford to live in the UK, then how can they deny the visa.
My personal opinion is the UK's had its day, and it's the next generation that will suffer.
I doub't we'll ever come back to the UK, and are planning a holiday next year in Aussie to see whether that would ever be an option in the future.
