Are we re-pats
If we're ex-pats when we move to live abroad are we then re-pats when we move back to the UK?
Deep and meaningful thought for the day (well it is for me on a Monday morning).

Guess if you are not an ex you must just be a pat, or maybe an x-expat

Re: Are we re-pats
Not sure i like "repat" as every time the media report on the poor killed soldiers coming back from Afghanistan, they use the word repatriation. 
I prefer to be called a "homecomer"
