Perthshire: People who drive Subaru's or Landcruisers
my brother used to live in Kinross, I loved it. He was in the Army.

Crieff.... and yes, Subarus and Landcruisers a plenty..... We live near Morrissons School and I see all the so called yummy mummies dropping their offspring off in big f**k off cars.... its VERY competitive.. Lots of designer clothes (the country kind of course!) and lots of makeup.... Maybe a bit like Dubai but without the tans and the sand.

We have stunning views from our window, a huge garden that is just great for my little monkey.

Just take the kids and leave, don't tell your emmployers, then resign via e-mail once your back in uk!

Is that "don't come back" from you, or is it advice?

There was nothing wrong with the grammAr, but the spelling leaves a lot to be desired.

Well I can't be good at two things you know, and taking ladies to heaven is maore important than spelling.

It's not that bad trying to get out. You can tell your bank and get your credit card cancelled.

You can also go down to the airport and ask them to check out your passport to see if there are any unpaid fines etc.

I keep on getting told by family to shun New York City and get back to Dubai/Middle East. NYC is ok, just a another city at the end of the day. Bloody cold in the winter though.
