Not a great time to be going back, if you have a family to support, OK if you are retired I guess.
UK seems set for a recession and must hope to avoid a depression
Most City economists now believe a recession is inevitable - and are focused instead on avoiding depression and deflation. Edmund Conway reports

Well, yes, I'd agree with that. If I didn't have to work I'd spend 6 months of the year there, well, 4 perhaps. Unfortunately that's not the case (yet), so for me it would be an insane prospect to go back now and hope to find a god job. But I understand that others are in a different situation.

Guys, all you have to do it go to your Drs. and tell him/her you are afraid of flying and get a fistful of Valium. It's why these sorts of drug were invented, they work...

Vanuatu or Uk
$$$for the whole trip or the same amount of $$$ just for the flight then everything else on top
New experience v's old experience
Meet some new people or a round of saying hi to some people I know already
Sunshine or grey skies
Seeing somewhere new or somewhere I've already done everything I want to
Diving or sitting around
Drink in the sun or drink indoors
3 hour flight or 24 hr flight
Guess what won....

Personally I can't see the need for any big rush back, life is what you make of it and I'm making mine just fine here. I had the chance of a trip back a few weeks ago and tossed the idea around:

you guessed it Vanuatu.We're in our 12th year here now so there's obviously been no big rush back for us. Our son is now grown and we have changed, so we're out of here from next year hopefully.

I'm not scared of flying at all, it's the thought of the long haul flight that makes me cringe.
Well that's nice and as you said, that's your personal choice, but that doesn't mean to say that anyone who wants to return to the UK from where ever they are now, is in need of a psychiatrist.
We're in our 12th year here now so there's obviously been no big rush back for us. Our son is now grown and we have changed, so we're out of here from next year hopefully.

Also it was the other person who said there were lots of people in need of a psychiatrist, I only inferred some and to expand... who could probably do with some help with their depression or inability to make a decision judging by some of the posts but that doesn't mean every single poster does although I'm sure the psychiatrists would welcome their $$$ or GBP's with open arms.
It's your decision to go back not mine so feel free to do what you desire as nobody can ever say any choice is a definite for life as I don't think any of us have working chrystal ball so who knows what will happen in the future. But for now I've made my decision and plan unforseen catastrophes aside to be in Aus for the considerable future, still have 99% of the country to visit.
