All the best, Shiva. I've enjoyed reading your contributions on here through the years.

Where in the boonies have you chosen? I always enjoy a 'leaving on one's on accord' story, well done.

You'll probably be on here more than ever if you are stuck in the hills with no interesting neighbours. xx

Dumfriesshire. about as rural as it gets these days.

battle one will be internet connections but its amazing what politicians commit to in democracies!

Thanks, not entirely on our own accord but the numbers are the numbers. I'd have liked another wee crash to drop prices for another year or two first but itll have to do.

Miss Ann Thrope

Aw man, hate to see you go (leaving fewer of us rational beings to the privations of the rabid Daily Mailers...) but best of luck! If you're bored please do butt in!! Like others, I plan to up sticks in a year also inshallah!

oh im sure there will be lots of opportunities to pop back and to say I told you ****ing so once brexit bites fully

Millhouse

It's a smart move. you're going to blighty at the right time to fully take advantage of the post brexit industrial, financial and technological renaissance.

im taking the optimistic view and focusing on supporting the recession hit industries whilst wringing my hands at the thought of a housing crash and share slump

Best of luck with your move Shiva. Please don't be a total stranger and at least pop in when the weather is really crap in the UK to make us feel better.

Hope you and Mrs S will be very happy.
