How long is a piece of string? I and a few others on here have done it all in the space of a few months. For many others the process can take several years.

i know i have lots of research to do, but as the uk is beyond repair now there are only benefits to leaving-however long it takes. i appreciate everyones case is different so i just need to knuckle down and get on with it

ta anyhow

It was about the same two weeks ago but since then I've been derelict, I have left the paper unread. He'll be gone by Autumn, certainly.

...or non working freeloaders, single mum nation of the world, saturday night violence, escalating gun crime, tax tax tax, survey yesterday suggests MPs are less trustworthy than car dealers, burgalrs suing for £50k as their prison phone call is identified as a call from prison = euro human rights violation, £3 a pint, smoking ban, escaped prisoners the home secretary is 'unaware of numbers'

so, call me miserable, but its time to go

dbd33

Which of those do you think is less of an issue here?

Souvenir

You just described Canada.

Don't worry, Brown's Britain will be even worse... in fact, it probably won't even be Britain anymore after Scotland becomes independent.
