Yes should have done the same. Hard even to have location to get mail. But they do have Black Pudding and Yorkshire Pudding, great cider and the river Wansbeck.

Yorkshire puds are one of my weaknesses. I buy the Tesco Finest frozen yorkshires, eat a couple of them as a late night snack fairly frequently.

Re: We are finally back in the UK
Yup I opened a bank account, needed my new driving licence and a utility bill. She scheduled the initial setup meeting for one hour - and we really did need that entire hour (mind you she was a sweet Spanish lady, I think I got her entire recent medical travails & her sister who lives in Ft. Lauderdale etc...) But part of it was, since I'm an American person, all the extra British and U.S. compliance forms I had to complete. Just for a current account!

I even missed Black Pudding. The draft Cider is great ! There is even a posh coffee shop in the centre.

Welcome home morpeth. We often walk along the lovely Wansbeck where it runs through your username.

Quit interesting after a few years. Ashington has a posh coffee shop, never though to see that.

Re: We are finally back in the UK
hey morpeth we will be heading back to the UK in a month can I ask which bank you opened your account with and has anyone got any suggestions to open bank accounts, I thought Halifax was supposed to be good but the person on the phone at Halifax then advised me that you need to be living in the Uk for a year before you can open an account with them
