Re: Has Brexit made you feel it's less likely you'd move back to the UK?
I think I feel similar in some ways to AX. That I felt the psychological comfort of feeling like I could but now I feel the UK has become less of a place I'd like to be in. The first point has probably contributed to me taking longer to settle.
Moving back is not really realistic. My entire family of 3 people are here, so I have no one in the UK and no house either. So it was definitely a psychological comfort.

Moving back has never been on the plans for us but even less so now. Not because of the vote itself but the crappy behaviour since. The smugness of those in the leave contingent. The attitude expressed is so typical of the British attitude that I couldnt stand anyway.
I am glad to be miles away from it frankly.

Here I have my 78 year old mother in law and 24/26 year old stepkids one of whom doesn't work and, frankly, I can't see him ever being employed unless something like the UK's New Deal (or whatever they call the equivalent now) got hold of him and since he doesn't get any kind of assistance at all (none available, financial or otherwise) that won't happen.
I could sell up here and buy a nice flat somewhere convenient for amenities/public transport but I promised my wife I'd always see the kids okay. Which I would do anyway, of course.

The only reasonable response to any of the TrumpBrexit stuff is a tinfoil hat and the LaLaLa song

Since the fall in the value of the pound, it is a serious consideration to move back at somepoint. The UK is a big place and there are places I would quite happily retire to. We probably won't but it's certainly now more of an option when the dollar goes further.

I've thought about it (moving back) a few times. Even tried it a couple of times
. "Brexit" doesn't enter the equation, either way.

I'd be quite happy to move back, I'd be even happier to have a go at Ontario though. Will be interesting to see how I feel mid December after our trip back!

I thought of your move last night. There was a girl at the riding stable, the instructor asked her "how many cars does your Dad have now?" she rolled her eyes "I don't know, but it's a lot."
