2 more years for me I think- should have allowed me to save my house deposit.

No idea - I voted 5 years as, assuming hell doesn't break loose of course, I'll probably be just too lazy to move somewhere else.

of course, when you leave isn't often in the control of most of those that live here

Another 2 years, then off to China--or so I plan.

I'll hopefully be off within the next few months.

Just waiting on the offer letter....

That will have been my 5 years up. Only planned to stay 3, but hey-ho...

I said another 3, that would be almost 7 by then, overshot the runway there a bit considering I came for a year

for as long as possible. 4 weeks in the uk every year is enough for me. the country is going to the dogs, and by dogs i mean immigrants. don't know why everyone's in a rush to go back to paying tax for stuff like this:

Wrong , i'm here for work and money and when i have enough i'll leave . Great Britain isn't so great now but that could go for dozens or so called first world nations .

Not everyone is here because they are fed up of the U.K . A lot of us are here because it's what we do for a living.

Everythings not always black and white mate

fair enough, i can see your point. for me personally though, i hate KSA but i'd rather be working out here than in the UK.

a man that is tired of KSA is tired of life.
