Cannot say its all been good- lots of ups and downs-in reality will be going back to UK to retire- but you know what at least we can say we have done it!!

Piff Poff

Yes, yes you can, you have to do whats right for you, you have given it enough time and you know where you want to be. Congrats on 10 years and making up your mind

Thanks Piff

Wow! we share an anniversary, although you have done a lot longer than me. The way I look at the anniversary date is, another year done, so a year closer to leaving.

Congrats on 10 years.

Yes I hear you- congrats to you too!! We are already starting to plan our return- we have a 2 week vacation later this year and will be using it to do a recce. I went online to Tesco's to do a shop and it was much cheaper than here in Canada!

Miss Clinique

Food is a lot cheaper at home than here. I go back every 3-4 months so I keep my eye on prices.

How nice to be planning your return. Wish I was.

You Guys have stars in your eyes..Groceries are much cheaper in Canada...than the UK...and better quality..Er Spain over California..??..... Er I dont think so.....I spend at least 2 months a year in the UK every year and the place is in a chronic mess........I emigrated to Canada...many years ago..no job, no rellies..no friends ..met by the Salvation Army..and walked the streets in skid row Vancouver.......Canada lifted me up by my bootstraps........If you dont like it here --Go ferk off...back 'ome..!!

RubyRose

That's uncalled for! UK is not doom and gloom and Canada is not a paradise.

I do not have stars in my eyes thank you very much- I have been here for 10 years and I have seen the prices in my area go up significantly- you don't live where I do, so how would you know what things cost.

Where in the UK do you go 2 months of the year? let me guess London.

I will be returning home in my own time-you don't know my story or anything about my life here so go F yourself and don't be so rude.

You are exactly what I don't like about some people on the BE site,i.e. you cannot have an opinion unless its the same as yours.

shelley748

Ruby you will always get some little oik who thinks he knows everyone and everything.

Novocastrian

Ah. I see now where your earlier post came from.

What....a... complete......wanker.

RubyRose

I agree wholeheartedly with you! An absolute W......r!
