Re: In case you were wondering why you want to go back....
Rubbish!
I only got back from there 3 weeks ago. Spent time with my grandchildren. Many of those shots reminded me of happy times with them and places and things we did.
Maybe when you have grown up enough to appreciate what that means you will see things differently. Until then, carry on waxing your surf board and thinking of nowt but you.

By the way, all i think about are my wife and children.

Re: In case you were wondering why you want to go back....
When i left UK i did not have grandchildren and i did not leave just for the hope of a nice life. I left because i married a NZer and his father was dyiing of cancer and he wanted to spend time with him before he died.
The rest is a complicated story i cant be bothered typing.

First of all, why do we all have to be like you? Just because you retain your memories in your head and dont feel the need to enjoy them through pictures doesnt mean we cannot. Secondly, I feel it wasnt very nice to dismiss our memories and enjoyment of the pics as sentimental clap trap.

Ok. Maybe i should have took the users of this boards feelings into consideration before posting such a flippant remark. .

Land of Hope and Glory
Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!
Truth and Right and Freedom, each a holy gem,
Stars of solemn brightness, weave thy diadem.
Tho' thy way be darkened, still in splendour drest,
As the star that trembles o'er the liquid West.
Throned amid the billows, throned inviolate,
Thou hast reigned victorious, thou has smiled at fate.
Land of Hope and Glory, fortress of the Free,
How may we extol thee, praise thee, honour thee?
Hark, a mighty nation maketh glad reply;
Lo, our lips are thankful, lo, our hearts are high!
Hearts in hope uplifted, loyal lips that sing;
Strong in faith and freedom, we have crowned our King!
Proud to Be British!

All i have learned is everyone is different and comes for different reasons and also that you have to take yourself with you wherever you go as i said to the last lady i was chatting to. So to me its not the place your in. Its the Place your in inside yourself.

Hi. This forum helped me get out here and i occasionally bob back on to the update or barbie forum to stick my oar in, thats all.
All i have learned is everyone is different and comes for different reasons and also that you have to take yourself with you wherever you go as i said to the last lady i was chatting to. So to me its not the place your in. Its the Place your in inside yourself.

Its fare enough though.
But I hate to see "Britain has gone to the dogs"

Re: In case you were wondering why you want to go back....
We are in canada hoping to come back to UK soon too but in dilemma of waiting here until next November when we become eligible for citizenship here? Is it worth waiting for incase our kids or even we want to return some day. Personally id be off like a shot but hubby wants to retain the option of having dual citizenship.
So for us its probably another year at least before we can hop on the plane

Hi there just wondering why you have to wait such a long time before going back to UK?
We are in canada hoping to come back to UK soon too but in dilemma of waiting here until next November when we become eligible for citizenship here? Is it worth waiting for incase our kids or even we want to return some day. Personally id be off like a shot but hubby wants to retain the option of having dual citizenship.
