Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
BristolUK was recently indicating that he didn't have a tenant for a period of time.
Once again, I believe your comments say more about you than they do about me.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
I didn't suggest that you offered it for free. I thought that it may be a solution to the posts you made recently regarding your lack of tenant(s).

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
Nevertheless it was a good suggestion which I'm just waiting to hear back from.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
It now turns out that I'm in a position to help out as well. Just today, I have confirmation of agreement for sale on a property in Newcastle.
I also have a rental contract on where we're living now which runs until the end of August 2016, but since we won't need it, I'm going to sublet it (for free) to the first refugee Newcastle City Council can find.

I think Bristol has cleared up your misunderstanding.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
Wish I had known that you had a rental property in Newcastle. As you know, I have strong connections with Newcastle, Northumberland and the N.E. in general. Originally, when I came in 1957 , I never intended to stay here forever and hoped that when I retired I would be able to return.

I would certainly consider you as a refugee from Canada if that's what you're getting at.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
I'm not sure myself exactly what I am saying. One thing certainly , I would not want to be considered someone who needed a 'freebie'. I have always paid my own way and intend to do so in the future.
I think there is a lot of nostalgia involved and perhaps being able to rent an affordable place to live in the area where I used to live even for a short time appealed to me.
It would be incredibly difficult for me to return to the UK permanently, at my age. I am only allowed to stay in the UK for 6 months , at most. I would have to get a new passport; I do still have my original , issued in 1957, but I believe I would have to start from 'scratch'. Also I do realise that I would not be eligible for any benefits at all, nor would I expect it.I have been away too long.
I just thought a short term rental in the area I used to know would be a great experience.
To all others, do not wait too long if you wish to return
